World's Hardest Math Problem: 1

Postby wrightfan123 on Fri May 18, 2007 2:36 pm

Okay, I was bored in Algebra today, so I devised an insanly hard math problem. Whoever wins gets a prize:

(abc)+(d-e)(fg-hij)+(klmnop-qrs)
(tu)-(v)+(wxyz)

Here's the key:
a=1
b=2
c=pi
d=bCUBED
e=7
f=41
g-bf
h=6
i=100
j=k
k=hSQUARED=6
l=12
m=-b*6
n=-12
o=47*pi
p=piCUBED
q=1/a=6
r=iSQUARED
s=106
t=w
u=z
v=(e-f)SQUARED
w=v
x=60
y=xSQUARED
z=y

...Good luck math geeks!

Considering you gave us the whole bloody key, it's not very hard, It would just take a long time to finish. In fact I'll do it in a couple hours.

I'd do it right now if I had my calculator.

stole my thunder.
plus, I assume the "=(wxyz)" would be on the right side of the equation and not in the denominator?

That's not really that hard. It's a lot of work to do all the multiplications and so on, but other than that, it's very basic. And I studied French, not math :)

Edit: I see a bunch of other people arrived at the same conclusion while I was typing :)

Look, anyone can create problems that take long time to do because they have many numbers and letters. There is nothing original about this one, it just takes time to do.

π^4=6494112581993339....

Obviously the answer to this is NO!

If you want a hard math problem, try proving that if an integer n is greater than 2, then the equation an + bn = cn has no solutions in non-zero integers a, b, and c.

[edit: sorry, that should read a to the power of n, b to the power of n and c to the power of n)

Instead of typing SQUARED or CUBED use ^2 or ^3 respectively.

You didn't state that the following is false:
a=b
b=c
c=a :P

Thus, here is my counter example: a=b=c=1 :lol:

It's not really hard, just tedious though.
