Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number
TWO*NINE+SIX-SEVEN-FIVE*ONE*ZERO+483 = 500
Looks like 12 letters, some numbers will need to be repeated.
501=0+1234+56-789

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number
But that one's not the puzzle...the one underneath it is, starting with a square root.
I've now changed the first equation to numeric form, as it doesn't need to be in word form. I had it in word form because that's how I did the other puzzle in post #486, and my mind was still back there when I was making the new puzzle.
0*1-2+3-4-5+6+7*8*9 = 502

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number
Hi Bobby;
Correct! 
Does your code solve the whole thing, including the square root and factorial components?
0*123456+7*8*9 = 504

It could deal with the square root, for the factorials I just ignored them.

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number
It works well! 
0*1+2+3-4-5+6+7*8*9 = 506
A puzzle:
Each letter in the sum stands for a different single-digit number from 0 to 9.
Find the letter values. The puzzle has a unique solution.

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number
Hi Bobby;
Correct!
I knew you'd get it. I tried to give you a bit more to do with this one, though. Did I?
0*1+2-3+4-5+6+7*8*9 = 508

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number
Time for a new new one already, then, if it struggles with tidbits!
0*1-2+3+4-5+6+7*8*9 = 510

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number
Ditto! You know how tight my BASIC programming was because of my poor little Sharp PC-1500 with its 8KB memory that I squeezed everything into but the kitchen sink!! It ran red hot!
0*1*2+3+4-5+6+7*8*9 = 512
Have to go now...catch you later.

Actually I never watch Star Wars and not interested in it anyway, but I choose a Yoda card as my avatar in honor of our great friend bobbym who has passed away.
May his adventurous soul rest in peace at heaven.
