2017 Equation

Thats really clever with those brackets :)

This answer is prob. not even math anymore, so im not sure if this is correct, but 

anyways:

sqrt(100) = 10

10 * 2 = 20

8 - 1 = 7

20 1 7

used numbers:

100, 2, 8, 1, 1

edit:

This is supposed to be a math puzzle right? I hope so, otherwise just forget this answer.

Solve for 2017 using these numbers only once: 100, 50, 8, 2, 1, 1

You can only use +, -, x, and / which I forgot to mention in my first post

solve for 2017 using these numbers only once: 100, 50, 8, 2, 1, 1

I'll give you my logic first and follow it with the answer.

8*50=400

8*2*100=1600

8*2=16

400+1600+16   +1 = 2017

so

8(50+200+2)  +1 =  2017

8[ 50 +2(100+1) ]+1 = 2017

----------------------------

so we have

100+1=101

2*101=202

202+50=252

252*8=2016

2016+1=2017

Very nice, Melody.....!!!!
