By only using mathematical symbols on the left hand side, complete the calculations below.

0 0 0 = 6

1 1 1 = 6

2 2 2 = 6

3 3 3 = 6

4 4 4 = 6

5 5 5= 6

6 6 6= 6

No numbers. Only symbols. remember!!!!! start from the bottom (6) and work your way through to the top (0).

4/7 is good. 5/7 is super. 6/7 is for the smart ones. 7/7 what are you, a mathematician?

here's my answer sheet, professor Karlos...

6+6-6=6
(5:5)+5=6
square root(4)+square root(4)+square root(4)=6
(3x3)-3=6
2+2+2=6
factorial of (1+1+1)=factorial of (3)=3x2x1=6

as for the first one, well, I think I'm gonna give up :-(

(0!+0!+01)!   = 6

(1!+1!+1!)!    = 6

2!+2!+2!        = 6

(3!-3-3)          = 6

7  7  7  = 6

8  8  8  = 6

9  9  9  = 6

10  10  10  = 6

2 + 2 + 2 = 6

3 x 3 - 3 = 6

sq rt of 4 + sq rt of  4 + sq rt of 4 = 6

5 ÷ (-5) + 5 = 6  (If I remember, you know, over 30 years ago Smile [:)]

6 - 6 + 6 = 6

I did refer to  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_mathematical_symbols !

7 - 7 : 7 = 6

quad rt 8 + quad rt 8 + quad rt 8 = 6

quad rt 9 * quad rt 9 - quad rt 9 = 6

10 10 10 = 6
