Okok you have propably read the other thread 1+1=0

Using four 0's get an answer of 119
You are only allowed to use +,-,*,/ and !
this is no trick it is a pure math equation

If AABCD = 0 and BC = 1 and B/C = 4 and D/A = 0, what is A?


A = Anything but 0

Oops, solve for *D* AND explain why it can't be A.
So it's AABCD = 0 and BC = 1 and B/C = 4 and D/A = 0, what is D?

D=0

A cannot be determined because D = 0 and 0/anything but 0 is 0

A still equals 0


Ahhh wait, ignore me, I'm only smart in conceptual categories like psychology and whatnot at this hour.

This one may not involve real numbers.

AAAABC = 12.
4AAB = 12.
C - B = AA.
C + B = -7.
What are all the terms?

Im not sure its possible to solve that...
I do know that AAB=3 and AAC=4, but the rest I have no idea.

You're right so far, Moe. Think non-reals.
