Question

Has anyone done the four 8's problem where you have to find the numbers 1-100 using only four 8's?

Answer 1

never saw it with eights.  use it with nines for my math classes all the time.  best if wait until they are juniors.   sophomores do not know all the symbols yet

and i do not let them use calculators for this.  they can actually do it quicker with pencil and paper

Answer 2

you just have to try to type things into your calculator

eg

1. (8*8)/(8*8)

32. 8+8+8+8

it can take a while

Answer 3

Well you need to give more details than that so people can try to figure it out for those who never heard of it son.
