yeah, easy

Now try this one. There is something different with this, too. You will try, but not succeed in finding out. Well, you might. But it could be some time before you do. Unless you're intelligent. But you're likely not. So I'm pretty sure you won't get it.

no a?

Khamsin that was too easy. =P You can't do the same thing and just exchange a variable.

Your mom was too easy.

You spelled okay wrong for a start!

[Azalee]

Your mom was too easy.

She said you were a quick shooter. :/

[Melchiah]

How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all and, in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. Who knows? Go to work and try your skill. Par is about half an hour.

Also, there is no indentation to declare this as a paragraph, but that's not what you were looking for.

[Khamsin]

She said you were a quick shooter. :/

She said six shooter, you misheard her.

[Azalee]

She said six shooter, you misheard her.

Oh, okay. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[Khamsin]

Oh, okay. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

i.e. your mom.

Using basic arithmetic, we can arrange 4 5s so that they equal 100 as such: (5+5)x(5+5)=100

How would you accomplish this same result using 4 7s?

[Khamsin]

I would do 77/0.77, but you can't use 0.

[Seraph]

I would do 77/0.77, but you can't use 0.

77 / .77 = 100


>.>;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[Kiarax]

I would do 77/0.77, but you can't use 0.

Damn, I was trying to work it out for ages and didn't even think about that. >|

[Khamsin]

77 / .77 = 100


>.>;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Yeah, but it uses 0 (in 0.77).

While you could argue that you can ignore the zero, just as you can ignore 077, 77.0, etc. the difference is that the zero in 077 is an insignificant digit, whereas the zero in 0.77 is a significant digit. So therefore, anything involving decimals is an invalid solution to this problem.

Now to find the real solution.

[Azalee]

Another question is if they have to be whole numbers or not... If so, then your .77 won't work. But that seems like the only answer to me.

[zoobernut]

That was the only answer I came up with and had the same conclusion about the zero.

[Metah]

What's the only number you can spell in alphabetical order?

[Blabj]

forty
