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

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.

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

are you also allowed to add decimal points :upside_down_face:

what about making them negative :upside_down_face:

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.

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.

xdd

can i turn the 6 upside down

anyways 44’s only multi-digit factors use repeat digits anyways so my base issue remains, actually

No. (You want me to translate this **** to a non-Hindu-Arabic numeral number or smth?)

Oh, I know. Where you are now, I was. Where I am now, you will be. (Tu fui, ego eris.)

Ain’t no way they gave (x) + (y / z) = 1 when x >= 1 and y / z > 0.

No. The solution of this puzzle is uh… “sequential”, so to speak. Perhaps, instead of attempting to solve the puzzle in one-go, try to find a solution with the least amount of errors?

To be fair, they did kinda say this:

But like: Who reads words nowadays, amirite?
