seems like you missed something,my initial post stated:

maybe you like this one:
create 24 by using +,-,x,:
and the numbers 1,3,4,6
You may only use the numbers 1 time each and you have to use them 1 time each.

Oeps...

Thought you were obliged to use all characters.

And it said nothing about allowance of paranthesis.

0.00000007151=Probability of Winning the National(?) Lottery

It's the same odds as the 6/49 over here; 1/13900000 or so

Yep!

Now I get the impression you are looking for an excuse,to me it looks clear that you are only allowed to use the basic math-operations.(else you could start using powers,Faculties,...)

So Chowlett, any chance of the answers to the questions. I am particularly puzzled by the 3.1415... question. Sure its the beginnings of pi, but what does LN mean?
