No I couldnt, because99 isnt two of 6 9's, its 11 9's....so, that wouldnt work...

 

[cookie_834]

type lol

i meant to put

99 99/99

thats six nines right there and it equals 100

 

[Skeet]

what 9999/99 =100? nope 101
and 99 99/99 means what???

99, is not 9


edit: you mean 99 +99/99 =100

but again, 99 is not 2 9's

 

[cookie_834]

ok ill post it in letters

99 99/99 = ninety nine and ninety nine ninety ninths

which is a 100

 

[Skeet]

so its a fraction...hmm...not sure thats how ms vorderman would have done it on countdown!! lol

 

[Tom Allen]

I think he meant 99 + (99/99) = 100

As 99 +99/99 = 2

 

[Skeet]

Doent really matter, as the way I done it, is clearly, teh concise correct way..as most sensible people would agree
