"Stolen puzzle from [REDACTED]"

[   ] + [   ] ÷ [   ]   = [ 1 ]
  +       +       +
[   ] + [ 5 ] ÷ [   ]   = [ 1 ]
  ÷       ×       ×
[   ] + [   ] + [   ]   = [15 ]
  =       =       =
[ 2 ]   [44 ]   [13 ]

Special rules:

  • Ignore PEMDAS; read strictly [from left to right] or [from top to bottom] when attempting to solve an equation.
  • You may solve the equations by placing the numbers from the following array on the puzzle: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9].
    Each number in the array may only be used once at most throughout the whole puzzle.
  • With the exception of the aforementioned array, there may be no empty square brackets on the final solution of the puzzle.
  • No decimals or negative numbers are involved throughout the entirety of this puzzle.

took a quick glance and idk if this is solveable? lmk if I’m misunderstanding the puzzle somehow

puzzle issue maybe

13 is prime so bottom right has to be 1 and the middle right and top right need to add to 13

15 is odd so the bottom left and bottom middle must both be even or both be odd and add to 14 - of the available numbers, only (6 and 8) or (9 and 5) satisfy these conditions

44 is not cleanly divisible by any of these numbers so I don’t think this works? am I missing something? I can’t add to a fraction or put in a fraction so (C+E)×D=13 can only work with D=1, no? in which case my constraints on F and G restrict me to numbers that don’t ever multiply by another integer to 44?

#28398

I was also like that, but then I checked the solution.
It is diabolical, but this puzzle does ultimately have solution.
You just have to… think outside the box.

#28399

okay well its not really a maths puzzle if i need to infer that, like, i can use 1 and 3 to get 13 or leave a slot blank for a zero or some shit

#28400

Blank slot does not equal to zero (you are not allowed to have that –I should probably add that as a rule), but you can form a double digit number.

#28401

im ngl i feel like that also deserves a rule :upside_down_face:

are you also allowed to add decimal points :upside_down_face:

#28403

what about making them negative :upside_down_face:

#28404

just feels like a math puzzle that relies on forcing you to do weird shit not in the prompt crosses the line between math puzzle and brain teaser in a way that should be advertised

at least imo

The double digit thing? Nah, people ought to figure that by themselves.

There are no points on the array, so: No.

There are no negative symbols in the array, so: No.

#28406

you better not hit me with the commas being the fucking english version of a decimal point and therefore those are allowed

especially considering the rules say “placing the numbers”

Hm… The original puzzle is “normal”, but that version is rather… Well. See it for yourself:

Fine, fine. I’ll add a clause of no decimal numbers.
