Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: Logarithm game!
5=11 6=625
Muxdemux, sorry about that.
Bobbym, I don't mean that!
Muxdemux, I think that is not correct in 6.
Anyways,
7. log3(___)=5
8. log6(64)=__

@julianthemath
The correct formula is , not loga(na) = n. This is what you seem to be confusing.

Okay, scientia. I might not do this well. Ask bobbym to close the thread.

I will keep it open a bit longer in case you change your mind.

Re: Logarithm game!
julianthemath, Have you see the fact that
logy logx
x = y which is still true for any positive base b (not 1) and positive x and y?
One might get some interesting variations on these log problems using this fact.
Writing "pretty" math (two dimensional) is easier to read and grasp than LaTex (one dimensional).
LaTex is like painting on many strips of paper and then stacking them to see what picture they make.
