Let's see who can solve this:

Using just three times the number 9 you must get exactly the number 1000. It's not allowed to use any other number, for example:

(9/9+9)^3=1000 is not allowed

>> No.2311134

What operations are allowed?

>> No.2311143

Any operations are allowed, as long as you don't use other numbers in the operation simbol

>> No.2311144

9*(9*9+9)+9*9+9

>> No.2311148

s(999)

>> No.2311152

>>2311148
>s(999)
what operation does the s do?

>> No.2311153

>>2311143
In that case, S(S(S(S(S(...(S(9+9+9))...))))) does the trick. Or f(9+9+9) for that matter, where f is defined as f(x) = 1000.

whas thw reward?
n e way is 9^9 as in nine squred allowed?

s is the successor function

OP here, and that is one possible sollution

Never heard of that before. What does it do?

>> No.2311190

>>2311183
add one
it exists to define natural numbers
0 is a natural number
s(n) is a natural number if n is

S(k)=k+1 -> sucessor function

so it does the trick

<span class="math">99\bar{9}=1000[/spoiler]

That equals 9 i think not 1000

No, just no.

What about <span class="math">(\lambda x, y, z \rightarrow (x + (x / x)) * (x + (x / x)) * (x + (x / x)))(9, 9, 9)[/spoiler]?
