Math Problem Statement
• Use ALL the digits in the year 2025 (you may not use any other numbers except 2, 0, 2, and 5) to write mathematical expressions that give results for the numbers 1 to 100. • You may use the arithmetic operations + , - , x, I, square root and ! (see below). • Indices or exponents may only be made from the digits 2, 0, 2, and 5, for example 22 is allowed; it has used two of the twos. • Multi-digit numbers and decimal points can be used such as 20, 202, .02 but you CANNOT make 40 by combining (2+2)0. • Recurring decimals can be used using the overhead dots or bar e.g. 2 ÷ 0.2 Factorials are allowed n! = nx(n - 1)x(n -2)x..x2x1 For example • (2+2)! =4! 4x3x2x1 = 24 • 0! =1
Solution
This task involves creatively combining the digits with mathematical operations to generate results for integers from to . Here's the strategy:
- Operations allowed: .
- Digits: Must use only .
- Multi-digit numbers and decimals: Numbers like are allowed but must use the digits exactly once in any combination.
