"Simple" Addition #1
Add in any required number of mathematical symbols to make this equation work.
0 0 0 = 6
0 0 0 = 6
Hint
You need to use factorials to solve this sum.n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2) * .... * 2 * 1
E.g. 2! = 2 * 1
3! = 3 * 2 * 1
0! = 1
Brackets are also required. No other symbols are required.
Answer
(0! + 0! + 0!)!Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

Interesting problem.
Math is not my forte but I enjoy the challenge. I tried.
You got a "fun" rating, anyway
Also, your comment on the TOTD concerning "real money" warrants recognition.
The term does not, obviously, refer to the authenticity of the money but, instead, to a characteristic "feeling" about the AMOUNT in question.
Example:
A commodities broker friend once let me hold a 9 kilo .999 pure gold bar.
As I caressed its length and marvelled at its subdued glow I almost blurted out the question ....
"What's that sucker worth?"
He turned to his computer, punched a few keys, looked ... turned back ....
... told me .....
And a small voice inside me said ...
"that's REAL money"
But, of course, gold is not money ... actually it's almost worthless for anything other than to make things pretty (and a few minor techie uses).
It's value comes from its symbolism.
But you knew that, already, didn't you.
You just saw my comment as a way for you to "break cute".
And you did.
Now ... go back to your room and finish sucking your lollipop.

I might get booted from Braingle.
But you won't forget I was here.
And when what I predicted comes true, you will have learned it TWICE !!
So ... (all together now) ...
How do you spell ...

I was going to add the mathematical symbol 6 and +, giving me
6 + 000 = 6.
Of course, if you had limited me to arithmetic symbols, I'd have to use your solution.
6 + 000 = 6.
Of course, if you had limited me to arithmetic symbols, I'd have to use your solution.
I took me some time, but I had it right.
Very nice!
Very nice!
Easy one
((0!+0!)+0!)! = 6
((1+1)+1)!
(2+1)!
=6
((0!+0!)+0!)! = 6
((1+1)+1)!
(2+1)!
=6
I used factorials as well but in a more complicated way.
Ceiling(tan(0!)) + Ceiling(tan(0!)) + Ceiling(tan(0!))
Ceiling(tan(0!)) + Ceiling(tan(0!)) + Ceiling(tan(0!))
