Take the digits
2, 0, 0 and 3. Make equations equating to all the integers from 1 to 150 using these digits according to the following rules:-
a) The above digits are the only digits to be used and no other digits should appear anywhere in the equation (except on the side where the answer will be).
b) Use of any mathematical symbols are allowed.
c) The digits 2, 0, 0 and 3 should appear in the given order in the equation. e.g - 0 + 2 + 3 + 0 = 5 is not acceptable.
d) When using the mathematical symbols try using the most simplest forms as much as possible.

Zero to 150 in 2003 by Robin Gatter)
I don't know if this problem has been put to bed by someone yet, maybe I'm a little off the pace here, but if your still stuck on 52 I had an unusual notion in the parking lot of Savon last night. Presumably it would be allowable to use inverse tan in degrees rather than radians. Thus invtan(1) = 45 (I think? pretty certain anyway). Then
52 = 2 - 0! + invtan(0!) + 3!
I'm sure this would knock most other gaps with a little perseverance.
Hope this helps and is allowable
