- A puzzle book challenged its readers to form an expression using five threes and basic mathematical symbols to come up with 37.
The answer was found simply enough:
33 + 3 + 3/3 = 37.
Find another way to do this.
- The same puzzle book posed the problem of finding 55 using five fours and any mathematical symbols.
That is also easily accomplished by:
44 + 44/4 = 55.
Find another way to do this one, as well.
3 threes and 2 fours

3 expresssions
333/(3*3) = 37
(3*3*3)+(3/.3) = 37
(3!*3!)+(3/3)³ = 37
4 expressions
(4!+4)*√4-(4/4) = 55
(4!-((4+4)/4))/.4 = 55
