| Apr 19, 2015 at 15:39 | comment | added | thepace | Thanks Glen.. Got it :) For Ops 7 and 8 , the value is less than the one posted. Right? | |
| Apr 19, 2015 at 13:38 | comment | added | Glen O | And I'm not sure what you mean about the top 10 answers. Perhaps you didn't notice, but it's not a top 10 - it's best answer for each number of operations. The only answer your score beats is the 1 op answer, which obviously your answers aren't (1 op answers, that is). | |
| Apr 19, 2015 at 13:36 | comment | added | Glen O | That is the correct logarithm. And then you negate it and divide it by the number of operations, giving 1.116831135 for the 7 ops case and 0.977227243 for the 8 ops case. The scores you listed in your answer are the values you get if you use log_10 rather than ln. | |
| Apr 19, 2015 at 12:15 | comment | added | thepace | @Glen O: ln|1−A/π| = -7.818. So the calculation is correct.Right? I used the example in the problem. Also do update my name in the top 10 answers :) | |
| Apr 18, 2015 at 12:18 | comment | added | Glen O | Also, you've used log_10 rather than ln in your score calculation. Your scores should be 0.977227108 for 8 ops and 1.116830981 for 7 ops. | |
| Apr 18, 2015 at 8:37 | comment | added | Glen O | I figured I'd give you a nudge towards a further improvement. $\lfloor 1234/56\rfloor = 22$. (for that matter, it's not far from being 22, so you might be able to drop the floor operation and get an even better score) | |
