# How do you make 29 only using the numbers 1 2 3 4 [closed]

How do you make 29 with only using the numbers 1 2 3 4? I have tried a lot of solutions and please remember that you can't use the number 5

• What operations are allowed to be used? How many times can each digit $1,2,3,4$ be used? Must they all be used? Is concatenation (e.g. $21,13$) allowed? I'm voting to close as "too broad" until more detail of the rules is provided. – Rand al'Thor Sep 22 '19 at 12:45
• It says numbers, not digits. Each number once goes without saying. But the list of valid operations is clearly missing. – Florian F Sep 22 '19 at 14:18

Here's several ways:

$$31-\frac42$$
$$4!+3!-2+1$$
$$3^{2+1}+\sqrt{4}$$
$$2^{4+1}-3$$
$$42-13$$

One of the ways could be :-

$$2^2+3^2+4^{3-1}$$

• It is likely that each number should appear only once, otherwise there are a lot of very obvious answers. – Arnaud Mortier Sep 22 '19 at 12:47
• @ArnaudMortier That’s more a fault of the question than of the answer, though. – Lawrence Sep 23 '19 at 0:31
