Get the biggest number possible. 200 + 520 452 – 102 222 \/ 11 15 \\times 15 \\times 2 X 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
X 0<\/strong> \u2192 Anything \u00d7 0 = 0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Digits listed: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9<\/strong> \u2192 Implies we can use these digits possibly to create a new number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Critical Point: The phrase “Get the biggest<\/strong> number possible.”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The presence of X 0<\/strong> (multiply by 0) is a trap. Anything multiplied by 0 becomes 0, so any expression containing that will not<\/strong> lead to the biggest number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LEVEL 42 challenges the player to “Get the biggest number possible,” providing a mix of equations and digits. At first glance, you might feel compelled to compute all expressions. The equations like 200 + 520 = 720<\/strong>, 452 – 102 = 350<\/strong>, and 15 \u00d7 15 \u00d7 2 = 450<\/strong> provide valid numerical results, but none are particularly large. The “X 0” expression is a deliberate distraction\u2014it\u2019s a trap. Multiplying anything by 0 will always result in 0, which is certainly not<\/strong> the biggest number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, observe the line: “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9”<\/strong> This seems out of place if it’s just a reference. But if we interpret it as a prompt to use these digits<\/em>, something interesting emerges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we arrange the digits 1 through 9<\/strong> in descending order, we get 987654321<\/strong>, which is the largest possible number<\/strong> you can form using each digit exactly once. There are no instructions that limit how you use the digits\u2014no mention of using operators, preserving the order, or restricting repeats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This level is testing not your arithmetic skills, but your ability to recognize red herrings and creatively use the resources given. By ignoring misleading calculations and focusing on the digits, the clever solution is to form 987654321<\/strong>, which dwarfs all the other numerical options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, the correct and biggest number possible<\/strong> is: \u2705 987654321<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
