?5?7?7?4? = 34
So we just had the Jewish New Year 5774, and one of my local newsletters has challenged its readers to use the digits in the new year in various combinations to get every integer from 1 onward. For instance:
5*7/7-4 = 1
5+7/7-4 = 2
5*7/7-√4 = 3
(-5+7)*((7-4)!)= 12
√((5+7+7))^(√4)) = 19
√((5*√(7*7))^√4) = 35
5!-7*7-4! = 47
et cetera.
I've so far managed to get every number from 1 to 55 and climbing. But I can't get 34 (and there's no guarantee it's possible).
Anyone want to help me get 34?
