9 + (9 + 9 ) / 9 = 11

9 + (18) / 9

9 + 2 = 11

What is rule #1 in Arithmetic?

Oh dear...

Oh dear...

forget i sed anything would ya

A late start but.....


9 + 9/9 + Square root of 9 = 13

....hard aren't they??

( 9 + 6 ) - 9/9 = 14
( 9 + 6 ) + 9/9 = 16
( 9 + 9 ) + ( 6/sqrt9 ) = 20

you sod wongo I was trying to do my tax today this was the last thing I needed , had to take one of the grandsons for a walk after tea to look at it from out of the box , I take it upside down 9's are ok

hey wongy

is this allowed 14 = 99/9 +sqrt9 ??????????????


there's four nines

If upside down 9's arn't then that is
Good one Stirlo

as would be 99/9 + 9 = 20

still leaves 16 though

If 99 isn't allowed:

(((Square root 9)! x 9) + (Square root 9)!)/Square root 9 = 20

greg

9 + (square root 9)! + 9/9 = 16

greg

Sorry children

No 99, no 6. Just 9.

Greg, I like your approach. It is different from my way but I like it. You got game mate. 16 works but not 20.


2 left...

20

let's see.

(square root9)! = 6
6 x 9 =54

54 + (square root 9)! = 60

60/ (Square root 9) = 20

Why doesn't this work?

Greg

9 + (Square root 9)! - 9/9 = 14


Now Wongo..... I've showed you mine, you've got to show yours.....
