Guess the equation!

Fri Feb 17, 2006 1:00 am

That's right- more difficult than Guess the Number, not only because of the difficulty in determining what an equation is just by answers, but also because you may only obtain answers to inserting specific numbers!

Basically, you'll give me three numbers, any you want. This includes decimals, etc. in this format:

1: 23000000000
2: .00000000023
3: 230000.000023


Decimals will be rounded off to the fifth place.

You have two options for guessing by the way: guess the equaton itself, or determine the T!-83+ program running this with basically accurate description. This description does not have to be 100% exactly the same, but formulas do.

Error: overflow. As in, the numbers are too big to be handled.

Error: Divide by zero.

You can give as many number sets as you want.

Also, important to remember is that the largest number the TI-83 can handle is 99.9...*10^99. So if you get an oveerflow, you know your answer is either massive or negatively massive.
