Hypothesis

Square the circle:
1 x 0 = 1

Double the cube:
1 x 1 = 2
1 cell multiplied once = 2 cells

Trisect the angle:

0 ÷ 1 = ∞

-0 x +0 = 0

-1 ÷ +1 = 0

0 = 1 = ∞

+ x - = 0

0 = 1 dimension = ∞ degrees

0 dimension = 1 angle = ∞ degrees

0 to the power of 0 = ∞ degrees

Hmm

It was called:The waterist,so basically,there was a river,the river quantity was infinity,there was a group of people that wants to fill in the river called;waterist,there first fill was ½ of the river,the second was ½ of the first fill,mean ¼ of the river and so on,will waterist fill the dry river?

Can you reach the target number 257 using only the following four digits?

Given numbers are 2, 5, 6, and 8.

The only rule is you must use each of the four numbers exactly once.

(You may use +, −, ×, ÷, brackets, powers, and factorials.)

Hey everyone! We have a discussion since playing Yahtzee two days ago and still can’t agree on the mathematically best decision, so maybe someone here can help us settle it.

Everything on my scorecard was already filled in except 3s and 6s. I needed to reach at least 63 points in the upper section to get the bonus.
For 1s, 2s, 4s and 5s, I had exactly three of each, giving me 36 points so far. So I needed at least 27 more points from my 3s and 6s.
My first roll was:
3 – 6 – X – X – X
The other three dice were irrelevant.
So the question is: Should I keep the 3 or the 6?

We have two completely different opinions, and I’d love to know which choice actually gives me the higher probability of reaching the 63-point bonus.

If someone can explain the math behind the optimal strategy, we would be very than grateful!
