You don't need the gamma function to get to 7. You can stay at an Algebra 1 level. I solved the puzzle for 1-10 before looking at the answers, and this was my solution for 7: ⌊√222⌋/2 or more readably: floor(sqrt(222)) / 2

If floor a legitimate mathematical function?

  Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions

    Yeah but it’s not a continuous function - is that allowed?

      It's piecewise continuous, but I don't see any reason why you'd need a continuous function.

  Legitimate? What do you mean?
  - pinoy420 2y ago
    Within the rules of the game

      I do wish those rules were a bit better defined.

With rounding functions you can get to 7 with just ceil(2.2)+2+2
