3 1/2 was an option but I didn't explore it, I thought for some reason it was not reachable... :(

And I only had to be wrong 2 or 3 times before I finally got it right. ;P

Practice on Fermat's Last Theorem then ;P

OK, let's see if you guys can work this one out :) The numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the operations +, -, *, / can be used in any order (parenthesis are free to control the order of evaluation) All the preceding mentioned numbers and operations can be used in any order once and only once to provide the result of 28. Remember, each of the operations can be used once only and each of the numbers can be used once only. You have to use them all to achieve your goal. You may begin :) [solution] Credited to aspdotnetdev (4 - (1/2)) * (5 + 3) = 28. Points awarded. Would you like me to make this a feature? Sorta like the CCC but for us more Mathematically as opposed to being "constantly high on peyote in order to be able to answer the CCC"?

Nicely done. Thinking out of the box! --- I had correctly proved there was not a solution whose intermediate results were all integer. From that point, I made the wrong conclusion there was no solution at all.

I made that same conclusion myself before I was corrected. :-O

Sounds good, but it should be introduced before I've started quaffing. Things start to get a bit fuzzy then.
I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be
