Puzzled numbers

I also think there is no answer to the question. Because it is an improper fraction, that is numerator is less than the denominator. 2313 cannot be arrived at. Denominator 3 digits and its a multiplication. Whereas numerator has only addition and 2 digits. Moreover you have provided the mode of operation too.

 

I checked the math over and over and over again untill I finally checked my files and the actual post.. then I got the oopsie ARGH!!!

I'm sorry but indeed I've made a silly typo.. Here's the correct(ed) Game #19

(1? + 1? + 1? - 1?) / (1?0 - 1?0) + ((1?1 - ?1) * ??) = 2313

I apologize for the error I made!

Many thanks One Two for the detailed post which explains why no answers showed up. Sorry again for any spoiled time it took to find an answer to an impossible task.

 

No problem habalala. I should thank you. You are making me dust my mathematics knowledge. Its good night here now. So Good night to you all.

I will try the puzzle tomorrow if possible. But all mathematical wizards are right here and I am sure they will be quick with the answer in few hours. All the best to them.

 

(10+18+19-17) / (160-150) + ((141-31) * 21)) = 2.313

(10+18+19-17) / (140-130) + ((161-51) * 21)) = 2.313

(10+16+17-13) / (190-180) + ((151-41) * 21)) = 2.313

System specific.
There are many more solutions.

 

Well done silim! Indeed there are many possible answers on this one. Filling in 0-9 in sequence does the trick as well:

(10 + 19 + 18 - 17) / (160 - 150) + ((141 - 31) * 21) = 2313
(30) / (10) + (110 * 21) = 2313
3 + (2310) = 2313

Game #20

Your are given the numbers: 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 10 -each useable once-
You are given: +, -, /, * -each useable as often as you want-

Your goal is to make a math, using the given numbers/signs and get a total of 808. If you can't get 808, do post your math with the nearest answer.

 

5 * 4 = 20
20 + 3 = 23
3 * 10 = 30
30 + 5 = 35
35 * 23 = 805

3 * 3 = 9
5 + 4 = 9
9 * 10 = 90
9 * 90 = 810

Keep *friendly grin*

 

4*10 = 40
40*5 = 200
3*3-5 = 4
200*4= 800

 

3*4=12
12*10=120
120*(3+5)=800
800+5=805

 

I see some great attempts, thanks for posting!

I think you all have figured out, to get to 808 is impossible. But it is possible to get closer to it as the outcomes posted above.
Let's see if someone finds it in the next 24 hrs, when I plan to post a solution.

 

Nice Silim, but in this one you can only use the plain numbers and math signs given.
Tot get 81 = 3*3*3*3 = way too many 3s used up! I'ld say: try again!

 

3x10 = 30
5 + 4 = 9
9x3 = 27
27x30 = 810


5x10=50
50+4=54
3x5=15
54x15=810
810-3=807

 

Silim did it again! *bow* The closest possible outcome is 807.
Pts for silim are on hold till game #22. I'll reward 0.5 pts to all who made an attempt.

Solution to Game #20:

((10*5+4)*5*3-3) = 807

Game #21

Using the alphabet with A = 13 in evenly ascending order to Z = 63, what do you get when you add up the letters in:

"The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success."

 

A =13, B=15... Z=63. Each letter incremented by 2 numerical values.
Sum = 2004
..............
A(13)x 4 +B(15)x 2 +C(17)x 3 +D(19)x 3 +E(21)x 9 +G(25)x 1+H(27)x 1
+I(29)x 5 +L(35)x 1 +M(37)x 1 +N(39)x 7 +O(41)x 1 +R(47)x 1 +S(49)x 8
+T(51)x 4 +U(53)x 3 +W(57)x 1 +Y(61)x3

 

Whoa, xristos, well done. I don't even need to post a solution!

Game #22

As I'll have this thread closed by the end of this month, this is the last game task.

Post a not too complicated puzzle involving numbers and/or basic math. Examples are in this thread
I'll check daily and will reply on every puzzle. When you posted a puzzle, please wait for my response prior to posting another puzzle.

2 pts if I'm able to solve it.
1 pts when I can't solve it.
1.5 pts to the one, other as OP, who helps me out if I don't have a clue.

 

398=964
118=164
356=936
423=?

 

Thanks One Two!

It took me some time to figure out this one is all about the first and last digit, thanks to math 1 and 3
When I square the first and last digit of 4_3 I do get 16 and 9, making the answer 169.

I know you will find it out.
Your answer is correct.

Since I crossed 5 points, I think I should wait for 2 players to post puzzles. Waiting to see what puzzles they are going to posts.

 

Well, it was fun to run my first forumgame. Thanks goes out to all particpants.


Moderator on duty, please close thread. (thanks!)

 

Thank you habalala! It was a fun game.
