Use the following numbers to get the result to equal the value 24.

5, 5, 5, 1

You can use addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parenthesis. You can't combine the numbers like make 55 or 15. It's 5, 5, 5, and 1

Now make the result equal to 24 in an equation like 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

So it would be (some equation) = 24.

Can I use exponents? If so: (5*5) - 1^5 = 24

_________________

Oh yeah, no exponents. That was what I thought at first too.

Message me with the answer if you think you got it. I'll let you know if it's right.

Man maybe later, I have some shit to do today so that was just my quick guess.

_________________

what about square roots?

Yea, I was gonna say Square Root of (5*5) * 5 -1 = 24.

_________________

no. Just addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. You can use parenthesis.

Like (1 + 2) x 3 is acceptable.

I've seen this on a forum before

Fuck this shit! I thought I had it.

edit: I DEED IT!

is that from the game 24?
We used to have contest from that game in grade school, it was fun.

But as long as every intermediate result doesn't have to equal a whole number, then I got this one.

Is there more than one answer?

No, I'm pretty sure there is only 1 answer.

Alright, I'm bringing this back with a new riddle.

You're on the surface of a sphere. Imagine it to be Earth. How many spots are there on this sphere (Earth) if you walked south 1 mile, west 1 mile, and then north 1 mile and end up in the exact same location you started out in? Hide your answers with spoilers so others can solve it!

Okay GOOO!

I'm not following. How many spots are there? What defines a spot?

A spot is a location where you start walking. You pick a spot on the sphere and start walking 1 mile south, 1 mile west, and then 1 mile north and end up in the same location you started walking from.

I'm with Dante and how are you ending up in the same location if you don't walk east?

That's what you have to tell me!

So just imagine you're on the surface of Earth. It's the easiest to envision. I probably should have just said, you're on Earth and you're walking.

Never mind, missed your response.....

No comprende.

edit:Is it 1?...

Do you not understand the question or you can't think of a spot where it's possible? Just imagine yourself walking. How can you walk south 1 mile, west 1 mile, then north 1 mile and end up in the exact same location? What would have to be special about that starting location?

You have to tell me where the starting location is in relation to the sphere.
