Question asked by Company's HR to my Friend..
- deleted 15y ago[deleted]
- InclinedPlane 15y ago(0! + 0! + 0! + 0!)! = 24
- damoncali 15y agoRarely have I seen a question that would cause me to leave an interview unfinished. This one would do that.
- anonhacker 15y ago!(0^(0^(0^0))) = 24 ; if you believe 0^0 is 1 that is...
- veyron 15y agoThat's not true even under your assertion 0^0 = 1 0^(0^0) = 0^1 = 0 0^(0^(0^0)) = 0^0 = 1 !(0^(0^(0^0))) = 1! = 1
- anonhacker 15y agoIndeed. Oops
- Forrest7778 15y agoWell there are 24 different possible combinations - assuming the 0's are different 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24 is this incorrect for me to use this as a solution? edit: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3550753 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3550753 This is what I was trying to convey - I guess he's the big winner!
- chris_dcosta 15y agoWould HR be able to judge if the answer was right or wrong?
- Gryftr 15y ago(((0!)+(0!))^((0!)+(0!)))! =(2^2)! =4! =24

- chrisbennet 15y agoIs this the actual question ("0 0 0 0 = 24") as given by HR and not something mangled by a typos or text formatting?
