Re: The Answer to this years game - 42!
I am delighted with this thread, given the team I coach is the Hitchhikers.
Given the fondness of some in this thread, I will give you a number challenge I give my CS students. It is the four 4s. If you take the challenge, you will come up with 100 equations. Each equation can only use the numeral 4 and must use it exactly four times. You are free to use whatever operators you like. I will give you one such equation for free: "16 = 4 + 4 + 4 +4", only 99 more to go.
A solution might be found on the web, but that is no fun.
I will be glad to offer encouragement/hints as you desire, since when the dust settles, what remains is that I am a teacher.
