Nobody fo(u)r 277?

gamma gamma hey!
 

Yes, I was surprised when this thread dried up at a relatively easy bit.

But it's given me time to catch up. So:
277 = (gamma(gamma(4)) + 4)/.4~ - √4
278 = 4^4 + 4! - √4

errr I haven't come up with a 279 that is essentially different to those two.

But i did find the rather silly

276 = (4!)! / (4!-√4)! / √4


Richard

279 = 4[sup]4[/sup] + 4! - Γ(√4)

or gamma-less:
279 = ((√4 / .4)! + 4)/.4~
280 = 4[sup]4[/sup] + (√4+√4)!
281 = 4[sup]4[/sup] + 4! +Γ(√4)
282 = 4[sup]4[/sup] + 4! + √4

all variations on existing themes:

283 = (ΓΓ(4)-Γ(4))/.4 -√4
284 = 4!^√4/√4 -4
285 = ((√4/.4)!-Γ(4))/.4
286 = (ΓΓ(4)-4)/.4 -4

de-gamma'ing 286:

286 = (4![sup]√4[/sup] - 4) / √4

going on:
287 = (4! * 4! - √4) / √4
288 = (4! * 4!) / (4 - √4)
289 = (4! * 4! + √4) / √4
290 = (4! * 4! + 4) / √4

four days with no fours? 291 is up fo(u)r grabs...

the fun is somehow spoiled by knowing that there are web pages with solutions up to 40 000 and maybe more.

Not really...

First, every website I have seen has a different set of allowed operations.

Second, I suggest that the fun for most of us is solving it for ourselves without checking the websites....who knows maybe we'll find a more interesting answer than they have.

And we have already found at least one solution where the EXTREME four fours page did give a solution with our standard operations or gamma / %

291 still up fo(u)r grabs...

??? did not ? AND gamma ?

PS: I said well " *somehow* spoiled ", which is my impression, even if I agree of course with what you replied (not looking at, and finding better)

It's sooooo easy to find a soulition with 200Up:

291=(-(4+√(4))% + √(4))/(√(.4~))%
