How did Greta get to London?!🤔🤔🤔

 

[Ming the Merciless]

an eigth as a fraction is .125 so 8 x 125 =1000

You can only use eight 8s no other digits

Cycled

I guess it's Binary notation then?

 

[Squirrel Chaser]

Cycled

Any evidence?😁

Nope binary is 1s and 0s plus base 2. This is all base 10.

None whatsoever , but I haven’t looked for any 😂🤣

She flew in, was an easy arrest as she was still tired & her arms ached!

On a broomstick.

How do eight eights add up to one thousand?

8 * 8 * 8 = 512
512 - 8 = 504
504 * cube root of 8 = 1008
1008 - (8 * (8/8)) = 1000

(subs: please check)

 

[winjim]

8 * 8 * 8 = 512
512 - 8 = 504
504 * cube root of 8 = 1008
1008 - (8 * (8/8)) = 1000

(subs: please check)

Is cube root cheating? I would think that involves a 3. I'm also uneasy at the use of 8/8, it works but feels a bit wrong.

 

[winjim]

8 × 8 × 8 = 512
512 - 8 = 504
504 × ((8+8)÷8) = 1008
1008 - 8 = 1000

 

[Poacher]

8 × 8 × 8 = 512
512 - 8 = 504
504 × ((8+8)÷8) = 1008
1008 - 8 = 1000

Much neater than my cheater!
We have a winner ( subject to approval from @Ming the Merciless ).

I count ten eights in the calculation.
