The discussion revolves around a quantitative reasoning problem involving the construction of numbers using specific rules and a limited set of integers. Participants are exploring the implications of creating numbers from a small set of values and the validity of the proposed construction rules.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants expressing confusion and skepticism about the examples provided. Some participants are suggesting that a single rule should apply to all examples, while others are questioning the overall purpose of the exercise. There is no clear consensus, and the conversation appears to be exploring various interpretations of the problem.
Participants note a lack of clarity in the original poster's examples and express concern over the absence of additional information that might clarify the construction rules. There is an acknowledgment of the potential for arbitrary number generation from a small set of integers.

I gave you an example how to produce the number ##87## by a construction rule that only used the three numbers ##\{1,2,3\}.## Isn't that absurd? You can create a lot of numbers from three given ones.Chijioke said:
Before we keep guessing, and with respect to the fact that the OP didn't try to help himself or us, I will close this thread.Hill said:
