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)
