1+1=2? anyone?

 

[Lokki 7]

It can be done without jiggery pokery I promise.
I'm off for a liquid lunch now, what are the chances you will have the answer by the time I get back?

6 X 5 X 7= 210 and If I take away 1 (i.e. one number) its 21.

After a truly fascinating hour and 15 minutes... I've finally nailed the bastard!

Thank you so muck Lokki7 for consuming my lunchbreak

The answer is: 6 / ( 1 - (5/7))

[Barnet Seagull]

Good work fella.

 

[Lokki 7]

I couldn't get it on my own. I only came up with a few Barnet Seagull efforts. One of my customers who has a doctorate in maths took an hour to get the answer.

Again.

you absolute bastard. I've spent ages trying this shit, and it doesn't even work.

5 / 7 = 0.71
1 - 0.71 = 0.29
6 / 0.29 = 20.69

I didn't realise it was, try to get a number quite near 21. Arse.

Think of it in terms of fractions and don't do it on a calculator (wich rounds up) and it works perfectly I promise you. 6 divided by the fraction 2/7...

Calculator, you absolute bastard. I've spent ages on this and you don't do fractions properly. Arse

 

[Lokki 7]

Er.... perhaps my cyber chum it is YOU that doesn't do fractions properly.

 

[Rusthall Seagull]

I got it straight away but didn't want to ruin it for everyone.....

 

[maffew]

It only works to 5 decimal places so is wrong

No, no it is not. It is right. How many 2/7 are there in 6 (or 42/7)?

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Good logic


6 / ( 1 - (5/7)) = (6 / (2/7)) = ((7/2) x 6) = 42/2 = 21

 

[maffew]

0.4285714

Back of the class for you sir. See me after the bell for extra homework.
