Read the title, everyone...
Make them too hard to be done with a calculator.
And figure out the answer before you post the problem!
This could also be math trivia having to do with anything related to math you want. Including geometry!
I want to see what problems you guys can come up with, but I'll give you a relatively easy one to start with.

10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 100 x 1000 x 100 x 10 =
Well?

10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 100 x 1000 x 100 x 10=100,000,000,000,000

There Easy

Incorrect, secretwepon! You can either try again or wait for someone else to try.

How about 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 100 x 1000 x 100 x 10=12,000,000,000,000,000

Mrdemolisher
12-13-2007, 04:44 PM
Still incorrect...
Hint, everyone: Secretwepon wasn't too far off.
He was only a digit away from getting it right...
Secretwepon, Iavgotregigias6, and PikaComet have all gotten it wrong.
But you guys can try again if you want!
If we get to page 2 on this thread and no one has gotten it right, I will tell you the answer.

PikaComet
12-13-2007, 04:49 PM
I'll try again.I know its right this time:10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 100 x 1000 x 100 x 10=1,000,000,000,000,000

10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 100 x 1000 x 100 x 10=10,000,000,000,000,000

Mrdemolisher
12-13-2007, 04:52 PM
PikaComet is CORRECT!!!!!!
Congratulations!
Now make your own hard math problem, PikaComet!
The answer, yes, was 1,000,000,000,000,000. In other words, one quadrillion.

PikaComet
12-13-2007, 04:55 PM
Mine is not all multiplying.



22 x 46 + 24 - 10 + 70 x 10 =?

Take your time.

Well, if you follow the Order of Operations, then it's 1,726.
But if you just do the whole thing in order, it's 10,960.
Is either one the answer you got?

That's what I got, anyway.

48 divided by 7 is 6.857142 then it repeats itself.

Mrdemolisher
12-18-2007, 04:15 PM
Remainders are not used by scientists and once you get into middle school, they expect you to get the exact answer, not something like 5 remainder 3.
I'll give you guys a hard one: 100 x 100 x 100 x 100 x 100 x 100 x 100/1,000,000,000,000,000 =?
I am looking for a decimal answer, not something with remainders.

Mrdemolisher
12-18-2007, 04:17 PM
secretwepon, is it 1,461,000?
I didn't use a calculator.

what's 300 x 30 - 9(9+80) divided by 4?

Mrdemolisher
12-18-2007, 06:34 PM
That would be 9,000 x 89... divided by 4.
9,000 x 89 is 801,000.
801,000 divided by 4 is 200,250!

jacksparrow
12-18-2007, 06:36 PM
wrong.

Mrdemolisher
12-18-2007, 06:38 PM
Duh, I forgot the - 9!
Sorry!
Wait... does this all coincide with the Order of Operations, or can I just do it in order?

jacksparrow
12-18-2007, 06:39 PM
you have to apply to the rules of Order of Operationds, the rules of math, i hnate them.

Mrdemolisher
12-18-2007, 06:40 PM
what's 300 x 30 - 9(9+80) divided by 4?
There we go... Is it 1,802,250?

jacksparrow
12-18-2007, 06:41 PM
no. it's..i'm not telling you waht it is.

Mrdemolisher
12-18-2007, 06:43 PM

I think I finally have it... 8,799.75???

jacksparrow
12-18-2007, 06:44 PM
no. it's a lot lower.

Mrdemolisher
12-18-2007, 06:46 PM
what's 300 x 30 - 9(9+80) divided by 4?
I don't understand. 300 x 30 = 9,000...
9 x (9 + 80) = 801...
801 divided by 4 = 200.25!
And 9,000 - 200.25 = 8,799.75!
What did I do wrong???

jacksparrow
12-18-2007, 06:49 PM
I don't understand. 300 x 30 = 9,000...
9 x (9 + 80) = 801...
801 divided by 4 = 200.25!
And 9,000 - 200.25 = 8,799.75!
What did I do wrong???
in the order of operations Parenthesis first.

Mrdemolisher
12-18-2007, 06:52 PM
in the order of operations Parenthesis first.
I know that. 9 + 80 = 89. And 9 x 89 = 801.

Okay, how about 2x+4(x-7)=3?

Thanks,

Mokarachi
12-19-2007, 02:26 AM
umm, well I haven't done math in nearly 3 years, but for that one Lukario I finished with 6x=31, or x=5.16

A bat and a ball cost 90 cents put together. The bat costs five times as much as the ball. What are the respective costs?

Lukario
12-19-2007, 12:01 PM
It's actually x=4, because when you start out, you have 2x+4(x+7)=3. You then distribute the 4 to the x and the 7. You then get 2x+4x-21=3. Then you have 6x-21=3 when you add 2x and 4x. You then add 21 to both sides, and then you have 6x=24. You then divide and you get x=4.

For yours, it can be solved pretty easily using Algebra. But I haven't done Algebra in forever, so I'll probably get the answer wrong.

Let x=price of the ball
let 5x=price of the bat

So now you have x+5x=.90. Multiply everything by 10, and now you have 10x+50x=9. Add 10x and 50x, and now you have 60x=90. Divide and you get x=23, so therefore, the ball costs 23 cents and the bat costs something and the answer is wrong.

Thanks,
Lukario

oh srry fort you guys were 9

67+0.1+100.34=168.35 hehe I will tell you a diffrent one

748.13+4567.123=

Mokarachi
12-19-2007, 01:59 PM
It's actually x=4, because when you start out, you have 2x+4(x+7)=3. You then distribute the 4 to the x and the 7. You then get 2x+4x-21=3. Then you have 6x-21=3 when you add 2x and 4x. You then add 21 to both sides, and then you have 6x=24. You then divide and you get x=4.


Distributing the 4 to x and 7 gives you 2x+4x-28, not -21.

For mine, you complicated it a bit.
5x = bat
x = ball.
90=6x
15=x
So....
5(15)= bat
15= ball.

In cents, of course. No need for a decimal.

Lukario

OMG you're right. I always used to make those mistakes and I hate doing it too.

then x = ?

Solve this one if you can.

I know the answer.

Try to find X.

If x*x + 2x - 35 = 0,
then x = ?

This may be hard but don't give up.
Hint: The answer is between 1-10.

No, because 8.75*8.75=76.5625 and 8.75*2=17.5
and you add that and get 94.0625 that is not right.
Hint: The answer is not a decimal.
