Think about all the different things you can do with numbers and read the question to yourself a couple of times! Think carefully, its about making another number using 2 digits!


Clue: (the final number can be more than a 2 digit number)

Its a good try, but not quite what i'm looking for. Remember use only 2 digits. Good attempt!


Clue:The final answer is a 9 digit number!

How in the world did you manage to work out 9 to the power of 9 without a calculator.8 to the power of 8 = 16,777,216. But that's with a calculator.Genius indeed. Lol(Searching for maths on the forum and came across this)
