October 2007 Solution

Please note that * represents the multiplication operator, while ^ represents the exponentiation operator. 


While there are a variety of expressions that can be used to create each number, we present only one example for each
.

 

37 = (3+3)^2+3 - 2

53 = 2 * 3^3+2 – 3

38 = (3+3)^2+2

54 = 2 * 3^3

39 = (3+3)^2+3

55 = 2 * 3^3+3 – 2

40 = (2+3) * 2^3

56 = 2 * 3^3+2

41 = (3+3)^2+3+2

57 = 2 * 3^3+3

42 = (2+2+3) * (3+3)

58 = 2^(3+3) – 2 * 3

43 = (2+3) * 3 * 3 – 2

59 = 2^(3+3) – 2 – 3

44 = (3+3)^2+2^3

60 = 2 * (3+3) * (2+3)

45 = (2+3) * 3 * 3

61 = 2^(3+3) – 3

46 = 2 * 3^3 – 2^3

62 = 2^(3+3) – 2

47 = [(2+3) * 3 * 3 ]+2

63 = 2^(3+3) – 3+2

48 = 2^3 * 2 * 3

64 = 2^(3+3)

49 = 2 * 3^3 – 2 – 3

65 = 2^(3+3)+3 – 2

50 = 2^3 * (3+3)+2

66 = 2^(3+3)+2

51 = 2^3 * 2 * 3+3

67 = 2^(3+3)+3

52 = 2 * 3^3 – 2
