Discussion Overview

This thread discusses a mathematical puzzle where participants are tasked with arranging integers from 0 to 9 to create calculations that equal the post number. The discussion includes various mathematical operations and expressions while adhering to specific rules regarding posting and variable usage.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes the expression "94875326 x 0 + 1 = 1" to satisfy the conditions for the first post.
  • Another participant uses the expression "$34,567,892^0 + 1 = 2$" to arrive at the result for the second post.
  • A subsequent post presents "$34,567,891^0 + 2 = 3$" as a solution for the third post.
  • Another participant offers the calculation "$0\cdot 1 + (3 - 2) + (5-4) + (7-6) + (9-8) = 4$" for the fourth post.
  • Finally, a participant states "$34,267,891^0 + 5 = 5$" for the fifth post.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present various mathematical expressions that meet the puzzle's criteria, but there is no indication of disagreement or consensus regarding the validity of the methods used.

Contextual Notes

The discussion is limited by the specific rules outlined for the puzzle, including the prohibition of double posting, approximation, and made-up variables. The mathematical expressions rely on the properties of exponents and basic arithmetic.

In this puzzle, you use all integers from 0 to 9 to arrange a mathematical calculation whose result is the post number. There are only three rules:
1. No double posting
2. No approximation
3. No made-up variables
Now since it is the first post here, let me do it first which results in 1:
94875326 x 0 + 1= 1
Let's the fun begin! *say it in Sakaki Yuya's style*

$34,567,892^0 + 1 = 2$
 
$34,567,891^0 + 2 = 3$
 
$0\cdot 1 + (3 - 2) + (5-4) + (7-6) + (9-8) = 4$
 
$34,267,891^0 + 5 = 5$
