I’ve been playing a game with license plates as well, for many years now. It’s quite simple: combine the numbers found in the license plate such that they form a valid equation. Regular binary operators are allowed, exponentiation is available and parentheses can be placed arbitrarily.
For example, 6827 can be 6 + 8 = 2 * 7. 238 is 2^3 = 8. 9033 can be 9 ^ 0 = 3/3 (among others).
It’s simple and quick enough to do on the fly, in traffic, but surprisingly fun even long term.
- alexmolas 3y agoI also play this game, and Lev Landau used to play it as well Apparently, there's a universal solution for the game [0] [0]: https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2019/02/02/landau-kolmogorov/ https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2019/02/02/landau-kolmogorov/
