Furmath

Furmath’s Theorem: math is creative.

A daily number puzzle. One row of digits, in a fixed order — your job is to make both sides of an equals sign come out the same.

Today’s row, unsolved. Where would you put the equals sign?

How it plays

The digits don’t move

You get them in that order and you use every one. All you choose is what goes between them.

One equals sign

Put it anywhere. Both sides have to land on the same number — exactly, no rounding.

More than one answer

Every row hides several. Finding one is the start of the puzzle, not the end of it.

You set the board

Play four, five or six digits, and decide whether the harder operators are in play. Nothing grades you for choosing — the board you pick is the board you finish.

Two digits side by side can also be pushed together into one bigger number. Once they are, a root or a factorial covers all of it.

456 digits √ ! xⁿ

The bow tie

You don’t have to find them all. Find enough and the day is a Furmathlete.

Two furmaths keep you company while you hunt. They dance when you find something, and they put on the pink bow tie once you’ve earned it.

The blue and the pink are Toulouse, where Fermat lived and died: woad blue and the pink brick the city is built from.
