Assuming o(1) is +, o(2) is *, o(3) is ^, etc how would you go about solving an equation such as:
y = 3 o(x) 4 (where y is a given number and you must find x)
I can't imagine how you would isolate x, you'd need an inverse o() of sorts.
ie:
x = o'(3, 4, y) (Hey, a 4d graph needed to represent this one!)
Hmmm... come to think of it:
2 o(x) 2 = 4
x can be any positive integer because 2 o(4) 2 = 2^2 = 2*2 = 2+2
2 o(x) 2 = 2 o(x-1) 2 = ... = 2 + 2 = 4 as long as x is > 2 and whole.
y = 3 o(x) 4 (where y is a given number and you must find x)
