>>12399419Well I guess you can do 8-5 = 3
and that way conjure a 3 from 8 and 5.
Assuming you may use 8 and 5 multiple times and any conjured numbers from them with multiple types of operators I can do 5-3 afterwards to get a 2. So 8+2 = 10.
I just thought ((8*5)/8) + 5 was a more correct solution since I don't know if I am allowed to use numbers conjured from 8 and 5.
But that's not even the question, it's about making a 10 when adding 8+5. It's a nonsensical question. Only possible answer from it is 5 = a set of five instances of one, 8 = a set of 8 instances of one. So you need to abruptly stop adding to the set of 8 from the set of 5 when the original set of 8 becomes a set of 10. But then you're not adding 8 and 5. You're adding 2 to 8 from 5.
So I'm on the side of the kid in this instance.
