a puzzle to solve
by kakashi1 September 1st 2012, 9:07 am
solve this puzzle:
How can I get the answer 24 by only using the numbers 8,8,3,3.
You can use add, subtract, multiply, divide, and parentheses.
another one:
How many steps are required to break an m x n bar of chocolate into 1 x 1 pieces?
You can break an existing piece of chocolate horizontally or vertically.
You cannot break two or more pieces at once (so no cutting through stacks).

You do realize anyone can just copy an answer from somewhere else?

To bother or not to bother...? Ah well.
1. 8 * 3 = 24 (duh), or, if you have to use all of the numbers, the closest we could get was 8 * 8 / 3 + 3 = ~24,33
2. m * n - 1 steps.

You can get closer: 8/(3-(8/3)=8/(1/3)=24,00..24(somewhere around that)Axer wrote:To bother or not to bother...? Ah well.

What? No. Axer are dumb because they didn't find correct answer for #1.
