for all you smart people out there, here's something to work on. can you come up with an equation that answers to the numbers 0 through 50? the equation has to contain only 4s, and only 4 4s, so you can't have 5 4s or something. so, here's an example:

4+4+4+4=16.

By the way, exponents can only be used as 4 to the 4th power, and it counts as 2 numbers, so be careful there! this is just something for all you guys to work on to keep you busy. please answer!! i'm trying to collect answers, too!!!

Do you mean like this?
(4-4)+(4-4) = 0
(4/4) + (4-4) = 1
(4/4) + (4/4) = 2
(4+4+4)/4 = 3
4 + (4-4)/4 = 4
((4+(4*4)) /4 = 5
((4+4)/4) + 4 = 6
(4+4) - (4/4) = 7
4 * ((4+4)/4) = 8
4 + 4 + (4/4) =9
(44-4)/4 = 10
44/(sqrt 4+sqrt 4) = 11
(44 + 4)/4 = 12
44/4 + sqrt 4 = 13
4 + 4 + 4 + sqrt 4 = 14
(4 * 4) - (4/4) = 15
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
(4 * 4) + (4/4) = 17
(4! + 4! + 4!)/4 = 18
(4! - 4) - (4/4) = 19
((4 + (4/4)) * 4 = 20
(4! - 4) + (4/4) = 21
(4 * 4) + 4 + sqrt 4 = 22
4! + (4/4) - sqrt 4 = 23
(4 * 4) + (4+4) = 24
4! + (4/(sqrt 4 + sqrt 4)) = 25
(4!)(4/4) + sqrt 4 = 26
(4! + 4) - (4/4) = 27
(4 * (4+4)) - 4 = 28
4! + 4 + (4/4) = 29
4! + 4 + (4 -sqrt 4) = 30
((4+sqrt 4)!+4!) / 4! = 31
(4 * 4) + (4 * 4) = 32
4! + 4 + (sqrt 4)/.4 = 33
4! + (4!/4) + 4 = 34
4! + (44/4) = 35
((4+4) *4) + 4 = 36
4! + (4! + sqrt 4)/sqrt 4 = 37
44 - (4!/4) = 38
4! + 4!/(4*.4) = 39
(4! - 4) + (4! - 4) = 40
((4! + sqrt 4) /.4) - 4! = 41
(44 - 4) + sqrt 4 = 42
44 - (4/4) = 43
44 + (4-4) = 44
44 + (4/4) = 45
44 + (4 - sqrt 4) = 46
(4! + 4!) - (4/4) = 47
((4 * 4) - 4) * 4 = 48
(4! + 4!) + (4/4) = 49
44 + (4!/4) = 50
