OK, here’s a small puzzler you can amuse yourselves with. The object is to insert math operators into the following formulas to make the result of the equation 6. 1 1 1 = 6 2 2 2 = 6 3 3 3 = 6 4 4 4 = 6 5 5 5 = 6 6 6 6 = 6 7 7 7 = 6 8 8 8 = 6 9 9 9 = 6 The one with twos is easy. That’s 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 Some of the others are pretty tricky. Especially the ones and the eights.
