2, 3, 4, 5


Two weeks ago we made a list of all the numbers we could make by combining the integers 1, 2, 3, and 4 with the common arithmetic operations +, -, * and /.

2, 3, 4, 5***/*****
This week I challenge you to make the numbers 0 – 20 by using the digits 2, 3, 4, and 5 with the common arithmetic operators mentioned above.
If you are really stuck, you may use the “!” operator, but don’t use it if you can do without it.
In case you are not familiar with the !-operator:
2! = 2*1 = 2
3! = 3*2! = 3*2 = 6
4! = 4*3! = 4*6 = 24
5! =5*4! = 5*24 = 120.

New puzzles are published at least twice a month on Fridays. You can check your solution here.
