Can You Solve This Interesting Math Puzzle? by Ade5(m): 11:34am On Oct 29, 2015
Basically, the idea is to make three of any number from 0-9 equal 6 using mathematical functions.

So you have

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
7 7 7 = 6
8 8 8 = 6
9 9 9 = 6

An example is 6+6-6 = 6.

The caveat is : No functions with numbers. For example, no squares, no raising any number to any power, no cube roots, etc.

You can't use the not equal sign lol (all you cunning people out there)

You can't add extra numbers. e.g, you have to make 1 1 1 = 6 without including any other number.

Can I use the multiplication sign

Nope, you've gone against one of the rules. You can't use any other number.

By all means
2+2+2=6

(3*3)-3=6

6*6/6=6
LATER SHa
Re: Can You Solve This Interesting Math Puzzle? by RegalD(m): 1:29pm On Nov 01, 2015
5/5 +5=6

(4^2 + 4^2)/4^2 + 4 =6

Log1^6 base 1=6

7-(7/7) =6
Shit

This is actually quite clever but your conversions to base 2 break the rule of not being able to use a function that requires using another number. Otherwise, really decent attempt.
