Oct 7 at 10:46 comment added Benjamin Wang I am thinking that this problem shouldn't be closed because there's probably a way to prove a bound on the best score. But failing that, maybe Codegolf Stackexchange would like this problem better than Puzzling then...

May 24, 2020 at 15:56 comment added Simd It would be very interesting to know how many fours and operations are needed for any given accuracy.

May 5, 2020 at 12:27 comment added Toby Mak If anyone can get $\log_2 (\sqrt{8} + 6) \approx 3.1422$ in $4$ operations, you would get a score of approximately $0.812$.
May 5, 2020 at 12:25 comment added Toby Mak It would be more appropriate to post this here, as the problem would probably get closed for 'lack of context' on Math SE.
