(2-2) + ((2-2)/2) = 0
((2*2) - (2/2)) - 2 = 1
(2+2+2) - (2+2) = 2
(((2+2)*2)-2)/2 = 3
(2/2) + (2/2) + 2 = 4
(2*2) - (2/2) + 2 = 5
((2*2)+2) + (2-2) = 6
(2*2*2) - (2/2) = 7
(2*2*2*2) / 2 = 8
(((2*2)^2) + 2) / 2 = 9; May 20, 2009 9:44 AM

Huzzy said...: here's another way to get 2:

2*2/2*2/2 = 2; May 28, 2009 2:01 PM
Huzzy said...: another way to get 1:

(2+2+2) /2-2 =1; May 28, 2009 2:05 PM
LKY said...: Other ways:
0: (2+2-2-2)/2=0
(2+2-2-2)/(-2)=0
(2-2)/(2+2-2)=0
(2-2)/(2-2-2)=0
(2-2)/(-2-2-2)=0
2/2+2/2-2=0

1: (2-2)/2+2/2=1

2: 2*2*2/2/2=2

3: 2*2-2/2-2=3

4: (2*2)^2 /2/2=4
2^(2*2) /2/2=4

6: 2+2+2^2/2=6
2+2+2*2/2=6
2*2*2/2+2=6
2*2^(2/2) +2=6
2^(2/2) +2+2=6

8: 2^(2+2+2)/2 =8; May 30, 2009 2:36 AM

2 - 2 + 2 - (2/2) = 1

2 - 2 + 2 - 2 + 2 = 2

2 + 2 - 2 + (2/2) = 3

(2/2) + (2/2) + 2 = 4

2 + 2 + 2 - (2/2) = 5

(2 + 2 + 2)/(2/2) = 6

2 + 2 + 2 + (2/2) = 7

(2 *2* 2) - 2 + 2 = 8

(2 *2* 2) + (2/2) = 9; May 31, 2009 9:19 AM
GRUDGEWING said...: YES at first i thought no so i asked my big bro he didn't know so i guessed and when i saw Ari and Adams's comments i wrote this; June 12, 2009 8:02 PM
