Feb 13, 2020 at 16:44 comment added DrD Very clever ThomasL but ^ was not included as part of the puzzle. But kudos for a 3 step solution for forward sequence.

Feb 12, 2020 at 21:03 comment added Sophie Swett I read the puzzle and came up with a solution, only to read further and find out that parentheses are counted as though they were operations; whoops. I hope you don't mind if I submit an edit request which states in the main body that parentheses count as operations.
Feb 12, 2020 at 17:48 comment added Alain Remillard @DEEM thanks for clarifying. It mean a 3 step solution can't have parenthesis.

More clarification
Feb 12, 2020 at 17:40 comment added DrD (x+y)z will be 4 operations. You have introduces 4 signs ( + ) *
Feb 12, 2020 at 17:38 comment added DrD (1) will be 2 operations

Feb 12, 2020 at 17:29 comment added Gamora Does (x+y)z count as 2 or 3? Given the * is implied in standard notation

Feb 12, 2020 at 17:09 comment added Alain Remillard Is $(1)$ consider as two operations (two parenthesis) or is it only one since you need a right parenthesis for every left one? If it is the later, there is an easy 4 steps solution.

add [formation-of-numbers] tag
Feb 12, 2020 at 17:05 comment added DrD You can but I found it much more fun to do this on paper. There are logical deductions.
Feb 12, 2020 at 16:58 comment added melfnt can we use a computer to solve this puzzle?
