    equations

    For each of the sets of three-digit numbers, insert any of the mathematical symbols (, ), +, -, x, or / to make each equation correct

    3 3 3 3 3 = 5
    4 4 4 4 4 = 5
    5 5 5 5 5 = 5

    (3/3)+(3/3)+3=5
    (4+4)/(4+4)+4=5
    (5-5)+(5-5)+5=5

    nice...mine was more complicated.. or at least the first equation was

    (3*3-3)/3+3 = 5
    (4*4)/(4*4)+4 = 5
    5-5+5-5+5 = 5

    My second equation would run slightly faster as well, assuming the compiler didn't just optimize the whole thing away.
