The Number Game

[Thurhame]

How it works: The first poster generates four random digits (0-9) and a random target value (10-100). Then people try to use the digits,

in their original order

, to reach the target value. For example, if the digits are "1" "2" "3" "4" and the target value is "24", then "(1+2+3)*4=24" is an answer. The first person to solve it will then post the next set of random numbers.

Allowed Operations

• multi-digit numbers; for example if "2" and "5" are next to each other you can combine them for "25"
  
• decimals; for example you can use "3" as either ".3" or ".3 repeating" (i.e. ".333333333...")
  
• basic operations; + - * /
  
• exponents; ^
  
• square roots; for example "9" -> "sqrt(9)" = 3
  
• other roots; for example "3" "8" -> "3rd root (8)" = 2

Original Roll String: 4d10

4 10-Sided Dice: (9, 10, 9, 9) = 37

Original Roll String: 1d91+9

1 91-Sided Dice: (9)+9 = 18

[Thurhame]

So the first set of numbers is "

2

", "

9

", "

7

", "

6

"; and the target number is "

40

".

(9*6)-(7*2)

Original Roll String: 4d10

4 10-Sided Dice: (6, 8, 3, 1) = 18

Original Roll String: 1d91+9

1 91-Sided Dice: (74)+9 = 83

[Thurhame]

8+95-6 = 97

Original Roll String: 4d10

4 10-Sided Dice: (3, 10, 7, 8) = 28

Original Roll String: 1d91+9

1 91-Sided Dice: (86)+9 = 95

[Something_Smart]

4^3+9+4=77
oh lol I did that before I realized you can do multidigits
without them is more hardcore, but not always possible...

Original Roll String: 4d10

4 10-Sided Dice: (10, 9, 8, 4) = 31

Original Roll String: 1d91+9

1 91-Sided Dice: (75)+9 = 84

[Thurhame]

You need to use them in order.

So you could use 3^4, but not 4^3.

[Something_Smart]

wait what

[Thurhame]

sorry; didn't realize that wasn't clear. i'll edit the op

[Something_Smart]

thank you lol

I'll solve it, I promise

[Something_Smart]

9*(sqrt(3)^4)-4=77

just use my original numbers

[Thurhame]

sqrt(.5th_root(99)) - 5 = 94

Original Roll String: 4d10

4 10-Sided Dice: (8, 6, 3, 8) = 25

Original Roll String: 1d91+9

1 91-Sided Dice: (67)+9 = 76

[Something_Smart]

uh what do we do with the 10?

[Thurhame]

^that's 0, 5, 2, 8

[Something_Smart]

so the zero is literally useless :/
also lol @ the square root of .5th root

[Something_Smart]

0+5^sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(2^8)))=25
that was harder than it had any right to be

Original Roll String: 4d10

4 10-Sided Dice: (6, 9, 4, 7) = 26

Original Roll String: 1d91+9

1 91-Sided Dice: (69)+9 = 78

[Thurhame]

-7 + .5th_root(sqrt(9)+3) = 29

Original Roll String: 4d10

4 10-Sided Dice: (4, 9, 5, 10) = 28

Original Roll String: 1d91+9

1 91-Sided Dice: (16)+9 = 25

[Something_Smart]

(4+7)*8+3=91

Original Roll String: 4d10

4 10-Sided Dice: (3, 5, 1, 5) = 14

Original Roll String: 1d91+9

1 91-Sided Dice: (20)+9 = 29

[Thurhame]

9-1+49 = 57

Original Roll String: 4d10

4 10-Sided Dice: (1, 6, 2, 6) = 15

Original Roll String: 1d91+9

1 91-Sided Dice: (19)+9 = 28

[Cheery Dog]

I assume I'm not allowed to just completely ignore the three

[Something_Smart]

hehehehe
(3*4+.9999...)*6=78

Original Roll String: 4d10

4 10-Sided Dice: (8, 7, 3, 10) = 28

Original Roll String: 1d91+9

1 91-Sided Dice: (52)+9 = 61

[Cheery Dog]

I was thinking a =round() might have been needed somewhere.

(8-1)*7*2

Original Roll String: 4d10

4 10-Sided Dice: (10, 9, 7, 5) = 31

Original Roll String: 1d91+9

1 91-Sided Dice: (63)+9 = 72

[Thurhame]

Ouch. Maybe I shouldn't have included 0 as a digit.
Does anyone else see a solution to that one?

[Cheery Dog]

I think the closest I can get is 90.6 if I'm allowed to play with decimal points in that fashion. (otherwise 96 straight or 92 when moving numbers around)

[Something_Smart]

no, and I tried some pretty desperate stuff :/
I definitely agree with removing 0. Most of the time it's just a waste.

how did you play with decimal points to get 90.6?
