    Thumbs up Maths problem 9999

    Use exactly four 9s and any number of arithmathic or higher level math operations to make numbers from 1 to 20.
    Example
    1=(9+9)/(9+9)
    7=(9+9+sqrt9)/(sqrt9)
    Here is a cracker from a few years back. Have fun.

    1 = (9+9) / (9+9) ..................................18 / 18 = 1
    2 = (sqrt9 * sqrt9 + 9) / 9 ................................18/9 = 2
    3 = (9+9+9) / 9 .................................27 / 9 = 3
    4 = (sqrt9 * 9 +9) /9.....................36/9 = 4
    5
    6 = sqrt9 ((9+9) / 9)............................ 3 * 18/9 = 6
    7 =(9+9+sqrt9)/(sqrt9)............................ 21/3 = 7
    8 = (9 squared - 9) / sqrt9 * sqrt9...........................72/9 = 8
    9 = (((9*9) / sqrt9) /sqrt9)..........................81 / 3 / 3 = 27/3 = 9
    10 =( sqrt9 * 9 + sqrt9) /sqrt9.............................30 / 3 = 10
    11 = (9 squared + 9 + 9 ) / 9.....................99/9 = 11
    12 = sqrt9 + sqrt9 +sqrt9 +sqrt9...................3+3+3+3 = 12
    13
    14 = (9 squared + sqrt9) / (sqrt9 + sqrt9 )......................(81 + 3) / 6 =
    15 = sqrt 9 * 9 - sqrt 9 - 9...................3*9 -12 = 15
    16
    17
    18 = sqrt 9 * sqrt9 + sqrt9 *sqrt9...................9+9 = 18
    19
    20

    i'll do the rest later. its to late to think lol

    .

    geez, some of them ^^^ are overly complicated.

    eg. 2

    9/9 + 9/9 = 1+1 = 2

    no wonder my head hurts lol

    The "9 squared" bit is a bit dodgy.

    What's next 9 thirded, 9 tripled or 9 minus five times four ??

    No it doesn't grasshopper. 9 squared is not the math operation we want here. It is 9 to the power of 2 (we don't want the 2 here) unless you can find a symbol that does that (for example square root)

    See.

    Anywhere you used 9-squared, just replace it with (9*9).

    but then i might use two many 9's.

    i see your point now scott...does seem like cheating lol


    9 + (9 + 9 ) / 9 = 11...ashore, this one doesnt work
