Using the five even digits and no more than three symbols, make an equation equalling the greatest value you possibly can.

And please say what it adds up to.

So I win.

Infinity is not a number. Nor does that use all five even digits.

10000+10000(8)=90000

Never said which even digits. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

I should rephrase that as each even digit, and only once each... (so 0,2,4,6,8)

Best I could come up with, 3 years post-math. I think it's pretty hueg, though.

The arrow is really part of the limit package, so that's one symbol. You're just seeing double if you see two instances of x (and, really, I think the first is kind of superfluous). The line is symbol #3.

Thats infinite, all right.

Wait, wait, I got bigger infinities! And less cheating.

Eh? Eh?

No, I can't be arsed to find a way to type an integral.

Why would I have to add in the even digits if I have infinity? Also, you allowed us to use symbols :]

To be fair...

for(int j = 5; j > 1; j++)
num += 1;
