Problem of the Week




This week's problem's solution is actually easier to state than the problem itself. That isn't to say that it's easier to arrive at, though! There is not a whole lot of theory involved at reaching the solution, only a few clever insights. Of course one could use combinatoric to explore every conceivable combination of the 4 numbers to arrive at a solution, but even in this instance, it would be just trial and error.

Drum roll, please...The solution is:

6/(1-(5/7))

We hope that you enjoyed this problem! We have problems like this up every Monday; just check out the Center of Math Twitter.
