- 1 1 1 = 6
- 2 2 2 = 6
- 3 3 3 = 6
- 4 4 4 = 6
- 5 5 5 = 6
- 6 6 6 = 6
- 7 7 7 = 6
- 8 8 8 = 6
- 9 9 9 = 6

Use digits 1 to 9 three times each to represent 6.
Allowed are: + - * / ! √ (square root) and brackets.

Answer as many as you wish...

Example: use three 7's to represent 2: (7 + 7) / 7 = 2

7 - (7/7) = 6


The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

1 + 1 + 1 = !6

I am not familiar with the use of * and ! as mathematical symbols, but if I have correctly understood my googling of ! it just means "incorrect."
I am also not sure whether we are allowed to use the symbols on the right hand side of the equation.

2 + 2 + 2 = 6. smile

5 + (5/5) = 6

6 * (6/6) = 6

Changed x to *

Are we allowed x, or does * = x?

* is now the "standard symbol" for multiplication;
surprised yer not familiar with that, Lex, since
lawyers' fees multiply quickly lol

! means factorial; like 5! = 1*2*3*4*5 = 120
Another lawyers' way to charge fees: $5! per hour...

Your answer to #1 is not correct, but kinda close...

Other answers correct...

3! + 3 - 3 = 6
sqrt4 + sqrt4 +sqrt4 = 6
sqrt9 * sqrt9 - sqrt9 = 6

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Nice alternate MxM!

Another way: √(3*3) + 3

The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.
