Broken Calculator (Posted on 2005-01-20) Difficulty: 3 of 5
You have a calculator whose multiplication button is broken. The only operations that work are addition (x+y), subtraction (x-y), and reciprocation (1/x).

Can you use this calculator to multiply two numbers?

Does the enitre multiplication function not work, or is it just the button that is disfunctional? If the function works then you could just type in (x)(y).
