Need small help, please

Postby Guest » Tue Mar 03, 2020 8:21 am

Hello, I need help to get number 42 as a result of some number combination.
It is a combination of birthday dates: 27 01 1984, 18 09 1995 and 25 12 2018, those are the dates. Is it possible to make some combination of those numbers to get 42 as a result?

I mean is it possible to get 42 as a result of some combination from those dates by adding, subtracting, multiplying, etc.
For example (27 x 9) - 1 + 18 + (1995 : 12) - 1984 = 42 or like ((18 + 27) x (9 + 1) x 95) : 84 = 42 (this is just example, I know it is totally wrong :))

I would really appreciate if someone can come up with something that will make 42 as a result.

Thank you very much and sorry for me being kinda stupid.

Hey, interesting challenge! Here’s one possible way to get 42 using the given numbers:
(27−18)+(9+1)+(95−84)=42
Hope this helps! Let me know if you’re looking for a different approach.
