ok..just because you spent so much time on it..
here goes:
(8+8)/8*(8*8*8-8)-8 = 1000
(8888-888)/8=1000
[(88-8)/0.8] * [8+(8+8)/8] = 1000
8[(8*8)+(8*8)]-8-8-8 = 1000
[8(8+8)-(8+8+8)/8]/8 = 1000
the funny thing is that the woman who put together this puzzle book calls herself the 'human computer'...
how will you write a computer program to get the solution for this problem?
problem #3:"Can you name the smallest number, which when divided by 10 gives a reminder of 9, when divided by 9 gives 8 as the reminder, when divided by 8 gives 7 as the remainder and so on, down to a remainder of 1 when divided by 2?"
how does the human brain come up with an answer......
