The Answer to this years game - 42!

[mechanicalbrain]

4/2+42= 44 number of build days between kickoff and ship date
4^2-4= 12 the number of volts on the main battery
4^2+2= 18 the number of Amphours
42/2+2*4^4+4^3+4^2+2*4+2= 623 My team number!
This is pretty fun

Sadly, Douglas Adams never realized that he was sooo right.

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.

Hm, pretty cool. I think I will wait, I already have too much to do!

Wow, you guys really thought this out.

You have a LOT of time on your hands... if you happen to have any extra time to spare... give some to me.. I'm running out.

I can't think of any others off hand, and I need to go to bed.

PS: Almost have the hotel res. for Richmond setup, waiting on a few more of the volinteers to get their money to me (you know who you are.. hurry up!). The Franklin Crew of Volinteers are on their way. WOOT!
