Mar 16, 2023 at 18:09 comment added isaacg Note that we can avoid the double factorial in 187 by reusing Retudin's solution: (11!)!*.01 + 1 + (0! + 0! + 0!)!. But there's no need, as both are allowed.

added 173 from Retudin
Mar 16, 2023 at 16:56 comment added Bernardo Recamán Santos Better write the above as (11!)! x 0.01 - (0!+0!+0!)!
Mar 16, 2023 at 16:50 comment added Retudin 173 = 11!! x .01 - 1 - (0!+0!+0!)!

Fixed repeated factorials, added isaacg's 199 solution.
Mar 16, 2023 at 15:40 comment added isaacg 199 = (100! + 0!)/(.1^11) - 0!. This uses the fractional point with no leading digit, and it's unclear whether that's allowed, so I've asked for clarification
Mar 16, 2023 at 15:31 comment added Weather Vane So either mine needs to be deleted, or the others need parentheses applying.
Mar 16, 2023 at 15:29 comment added Weather Vane @JaapScherphuis (I thought) many of the solutions listed had a double factorial!!
Mar 16, 2023 at 15:08 comment added Jaap Scherphuis @WeatherVane Although factorial are allowed, I'm not so sure double factorials are. It hasn't been needed so far, and earlier expressions with $!!$ were actually repeated factorials (i.e. $11_2!!=3!!=(3!)!=6!=720$, whereas you used $(11_2!)!!=(3!)!!=6!!=6\cdot4\cdot2=48$).

Mar 16, 2023 at 14:28 comment added Jaap Scherphuis @WeatherVane You mean loopy walt. All I did in my edit was a little formatting.
Mar 16, 2023 at 14:22 comment added Weather Vane @JaapScherphuis you beat me to 188 and 190 by a short stroke, but I added 187.

Formatting, and struck out solved numbers from the unsolved list.

Corrected typo on 162
Mar 16, 2023 at 4:31 comment added isaacg 158=(11^100-0!-0!)/.1
Mar 16, 2023 at 3:03 comment added loopy walt 164 = 10 x (11^100 + 0!)
Mar 16, 2023 at 2:51 comment added loopy walt 190 = (0!+0!)^11! x 11 - 0!-0!
Mar 16, 2023 at 2:45 comment added loopy walt Typo at 162? Did you mean 10 x 11^100 ?

Mar 15, 2023 at 15:05 comment added Jaap Scherphuis Like Weather Vane, you stopped just before an easy one: $135=10000111$. I got stuck at 107 cause I didn't think of the 0! trick. Very nice!
