Playing with numbers - Wei-Hwa’s Puzzle Challenge Number 1
Leave comments here: 3 comment(s)
Using the PERL code from a previous post. I Changed the numbers to 7-7-3-3 (and 5-5-5-1), executed the code and here are the results.
> perl 7733.pl (Download here)
7*(3+(3/7)) = 24
> perl 5551.pl (Download Here)
5*(5-(1/5)) = 24
Is there a theory for this? Does it work for all numeric combinations?

Is there really this much interest for these puzzles? Looks like human evolution and more and more people are becoming fond of mental challenges. If there really is an interest, someone should create a website dedicated to puzzles. Charge money and every question you get right, return your original investment ($0.10, $1.00, etc.) and an additional 10% or something. That'd be cool.
I think its human nature to figure things out.
Your idea on the puzzle web site with a ROI sounds great. It should be the first to answer gets 25%, second, 15% and third 5%. :) Otherwise answers will be discussed, everyone gets paid, and the website goes bankrupt.
Hey, both you and I have first rights to any website created using this idea (using this as a timestamp). Unless it already exists.
