4 = ((9+9)/9) + ((9+9)/9) + ((9-9)*9) 5 = (9/9) + (9/9) + (9/9) + ((9+9)/9) 6 = ((9+9)/9) + ((9+9)/9) + ((9+9)/9) 7 = ((9+9+9+9+9)/9) + ((9+9)/9) 8 = (9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9)/9 9 = 9 + (9-9) * (rest of 9's) 10 = 9 + 9/9 + (9-9) * (rest of 9's) 11 = 9 + 9/9 + (9/9) * (rest of 9's) 12 = 9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9-9 13 = 9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 14 = 9 + 9 - 9/9 - 9/9 - ((9+9)/9) 15 = 9 + (9*(9/9)) - 9/9 - ((9+9)/9) 16 = 9 + (9*(9/9)) - (((9+9)/9) * (9/9)) 17 = 9 + 9 - (9/9) + (9-9)*(9+9/9) 18 = 9 + 9 + (9-9)*(9+...) 19 = 9 + 9 + 9/9 + (9-9)*(9...) ... maybe somebody else would like to continue this... outside of the mailing list =) break over, back to work =) NEURACOM Philippines New Media + Digital Nervous Systems www.neuracom.com _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
