Puzzle for this week
I am certainly a little wary of posting a puzzle today lest all my FB friends start wishing me Happy Birthday or something like that 🙂
As always, send me messages in FB and not in the “Comments” section.
How can you get 5 by using only two 2s (and you can use any mathematical operators, symbols etc as many times as you want).
Can you come up with 2 different ways?
Phutki dui ke laath mariya dhyara dui ghat tulia uhar chouko shikor ningraya lou 🙂
Do aur do paanch
Happy anniversary from Mumbai Domestic Airport. :-). That means I haven’t solved the puzzle yet.
Amitesh got the answer but Ritesh gets full points for funny answer
Debatri and Bijetri cracked it!!!
Happy Diwali.
And so did Dilesh!
Arunima and Amlan cracked it…
Nobody has yet got both the answers
First answer: sqrt(.2 ^ -2)
Second answer: (sqrt(antilog 2))/2
Now that I have deciphered what Prodipto was trying to say, he got the right answer too
There is also 2^2 – cos (pi) …. (Since symbols are allowed 🙂
2 + 2 +1?
(2*2+2)-(2/2)
Haritha, you need to get to 5 using only two 2s not five of them…
