Assemble a formula using the numbers $5$, $0$, $1$, and $7$ in any order to make 89. You may use the operations $x + y$, $x - y$, $x times y$, $x div y$, $x!$, $sqrtx$, $sqrt[leftroot-2uproot2x]y$ and $x^y$, as long as all operands are either $7$, $0$, $1$, or $5$. Operands may of course also be derived from calculations e.g. $10+(7*5)$. You may also use brackets to clarify order of operations, and you may concatenate two or more of the four digits you start with (such as $7$ and $5$ to make the number $75$) if you wish. You may only use each of the starting digits once and you must use all four of them. I'm afraid that concatenation of numbers from calculations is not permitted, but answers with concatenations which get $89$ will get plus one from me.



Double, triple, etc. factorials (n-druple-factorials), such as $5!! = 5 times 3 times 1$ are not allowed, but factorials of factorials are fine, such as $((5-1)!)! = 24!$. I will upvote answers with double, triple and n-druple-factorials which get $89$, but will not mark them as correct.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 31 down vote favorite 4 I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering with a 7 year background in self-guided, self-paced research including 2 years as a graduate level course instructor and a subject matter expert for various engineering projects in a university setting in the United States.

It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code.

Confectionery

Image
Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
