Can anybody help me understand this? I can't make it be 196 or anything. I'm at a loss.
I think it's loss?
Motherfucker
Thought it was a 196 joke at first and now I'm just irritated.
How though? I'm really not getting it
1, 2, 2, 1 and 1 laying down. Classic loss.jpg
If you allow factorials:
6^3 - 6! / (3! * 3!) = 196
Edit: also 66*3 - 3!/3 = 196
If we allow combining digits to make larger numbers (like kittehx's edit) we can actually do
(33*6) - (6/3) = 196
How did I not try that? Now I feel dumb lol
If it's limited to basic arithmetic (+-*/) and no parenthesis, would there be any answer possible that's not a multiple of 3? My first thought is telling me that common order of operations would make any equation using the numbers in the OP and the restrictions laid out would always amount to a multiple of 3.
Oh yep, my bad. It's always division that throws me in math expressions that have multiple steps to them.
(6!/3!)*1.633
It's "loss", a sad famous meme comic
