Don't overthink it, it's made to be unsolvable on purpose, just to test how much math your average Joe knows.
Haha I got that :) @[email protected] is right, I was halfheartedly looking for a logic system in which it could make sense. Still, I would have major issues with the first step as it is shown, but I am wondering about systems where, say, each
x <- {..}, then what would be the set, and the probability of the correct solution.Something I need to be more awake for, and it may be easier to solve without resorting to powers and roots, haha.
Reply to self: really not that useful. That would be the same as just throwing all variables/coordinates of the solution in a set, forgetting their names and then filling them back in as some kind of madlibs experiment. And multiple solutions don't grow with the exponent on x, that is just an odd/even thing. Don't know shat I was thinking...
I can tell you one thing, the equation makes perfect sense if x --> inf.
