Re: How do you get 1000 from eight 8's Good try but not correct... I said each 8 should have atleast 1 operator between them. here is the answer: (((8*8)+(8*8))*8)-(8+8+8) = 1000 Enjoyy

Re: How do you get 1000 from eight 8's hey man i got a good logic to remember this answer given by P sharma. here it is, 1000=1024-24 =2^10-24 =((2^6+2^6)*2^3)-(8+8+8) =((8*8+8*8)*8)-(8+8+8)
