Happy April 2nd! Today, we mark the passing of April Fool's Day with a celebration of today's day of the month, the mighty 2. It's the atomic number of helium, the only even prime number, the base of binary numbers which make computers possible, and the number of ingredients you need for 7-layer dip if one of the ingredients is 6-layer dip.
And so we celebrate the 2 with this math brain teaser:
How can you use five 2s to make 100? You can use any common mathematical operations but no other numbers (not even 0).
Ready for the answer?
There are probably several ways to do it (it's math after all), but here are a couple:
- ((22 - 2) / 2)2
- (2 * 2 * 2 + 2)2
