According to [url="http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/DavidandPenny/200Up.htm"]http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/DavidandPenny/200Up.htm[/url] the remaining 4-4's-representations up to 160 must have at least one squaring operation.

83 = (4! -.4)/.4 + 4!
Added 162 = 4!/(.4)sq + 4sq - 4 170 = 4!/(.4)sq + 4sq + 4 178 = 4!/(.4)sq + 4! + 4 182 = 4!/(.4)sq + 4sq + 4sq 186 = 4!/(.4)sq 194 = 4!/(.4)sq + 44 |
83 = (4!-.4)/.4+4!
165 = (4!-.4[sup]sq[/sup])/(.4[sup]sq[/sup])+4[sup]sq[/sup] 167 = (4![sup]sq[/sup]-4)/4+4! 168 = 4![sup]sq[/sup]/4+4! 169 = (4![sup]sq[/sup]+4)/4+4! 173 = (4!-.4[sup]sq[/sup])/(.4[sup]sq[/sup])+4! I thought someone earlier posted: 192 = 4!*4+4!*4 And we've been using: 576 = 4!sq |
174 = (4!)/(.4sq)+4!
175 = (4!+.4sq)/(.4sq)+4! |
161= 159 + 2, 164 = 4 * 41
161 = (4!sq + 4)/4 + 4sq
164 = 4*(4sq + .4)/.4 |
Solutions with fewer 4's than on the last summary:
14 = 4/.4+4 14 = 4! -4/.4 22 = 4sq+4!/4 30 = 4!+4!/4 63 = (4[sup]sqsq[/sup]-4)/4 65 = (4[sup]sqsq[/sup]+4)/4 76 = (4/.4)[sup]sq[/sup]-4! 124 = (4/.4)[sup]sq[/sup]+4! 126 = 4!/(.4[sup]sq[/sup])-4! 143 = (4![sup]sq[/sup]-4)/4 146 = 4!/(.4[sup]sq[/sup])-4 and a typo correction: 144 = 4!sq/4 + 4/4 should have been 14[b]5[/b] = 4!sq/4 + 4/4 |
Earlier, while under the influence of beer :-) , rogue posted several solutions in which 4[sup]sqsq[/sup] was erroneously evaluated to equal 64 instead of 256.
[quote="rogue"]50 = 4sqsq - 4/.4 - 4 53 = 4sqsq - 44/4 54 = 4sqsq - 4/.4 55 = 4sqsq - (4 - 4/4)sq 57 = 4sqsq - (4!+4)/4 62 = 4sqsq - (4+4)/4 64 = 4sqsq 67 = 4sqsq + 4 - 4/4 69 = 4sqsq + 4 + 4/4 71 = 4sqsq + (4!+4)/4 73 = 4sqsq + (4 - 4/4)sq 74 = 4sqsq + 4/.4 75 = 4sqsq + 44/4 78 = 4sqsq + 4/.4 + 4 79 = 4sqsq + 4sq - 4/4 81 = 4sqsq + 4sq + 4/4 87 = 4sqsq + 4! - 4/4 88 = 4sqsq + 4! 89 = 4sqsq + 4! + 4/4 98 = 4sqsq + 4! + 4/.4 [/quote] All that work by rogue can be salvaged by simply adding 192 to the left side of each of those equations: 242 = 4sqsq-4/.4-4 245 = 4sqsq-44/4 246 = 4sqsq-4/.4 247 = 4sqsq-(4-4/4)sq 249 = 4sqsq-(4!+4)/4 254 = 4sqsq-(4+4)/4 256 = 4sqsq 259 = 4sqsq+4-4/4 261 = 4sqsq+4+4/4 263 = 4sqsq+(4!+4)/4 265 = 4sqsq+(4-4/4)sq 266 = 4sqsq+4/.4 267 = 4sqsq+44/4 270 = 4sqsq+4/.4+4 271 = 4sqsq+4sq-4/4 273 = 4sqsq+4sq+4/4 279 = 4sqsq+4!-4/4 280 = 4sqsq+4! 281 = 4sqsq+4!+4/4 290 = 4sqsq+4!+4/.4 |

... and fetofs's solutions lead to:
99 = (4[sup]sq[/sup]-.4[sup]sq[/sup])/.4[sup]sq[/sup] 101 = (4[sup]sq[/sup]+.4[sup]sq[/sup])/.4[sup]sq[/sup] ... which lead to: 157 = 4[sup]sqsq[/sup]-(4[sup]sq[/sup]-.4[sup]sq[/sup])/.4[sup]sq[/sup] |

Well, I guess it's time to post solutions for a few you hadn't gotten earlier (I don't know if you've solved them yet:
78 = 4!*4!sq/4sqsq+4! 82 = (4sqsq-4!)/4+4! 83 = (4sq-.4sq)/.4sq-4sq 98 = (4sq-.4sq-.4sq)/.4sq 103= (4sq-.4sq)/.4sq+4 107= 4sqsq-(4!-.4sq)/.4sq 115= (4sq-.4sq)/.4sq+4sq 123= (4sq-.4sq)/.4sq+4! 131= 4sqsq-(4sq+4)/.4sq 157= 4sqsq-(4sq-.4sq)/.4sq 93 is the only one under 160 I haven't found. Between 160 and 300, I couldn't find the following 25 (yet): 163 177 181 183 185 187 189 202 203 205 206 211 213 214 217 218 223 237 243 269 283 287 294 295 298 Also, I found a copy of the problem that's apparently from an earlier edition of my book on [url=http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arcade/7810/44sfaq.htm]this page[/url]. It's almost the same as mine, but his is copyright 1976 and mine is 1980. Basically, that sentence allowing 4! and repeating decimals is gone in mine, and the ! key is allowed generally. |
