For 5, '!' should have been outside the root.
Shephine Shaji you mean it's not 601.3952191045 o'clock?
5 o'clock is incorrect. As it stands, with "!" under the radical, you would have approximately 601.4 o'clock. To equal 5 o'clock, the factorial symbol would need to be outside the radical :)
5 = sqrt(9)! - (9/9)
I love this idea! And I think I may show some of my students this picture and challenge them to find the error...
First blonde to see this will say...great now I need a calculator to figure out the time :-)
Ask any german if it is a good idea and they will say: Nine(sic).
Shephine Shaji ok, first (sqrt (9))!= 3! =6
Alberto Avilés OK!
I've seen this clock before. I love that it's all nines, but the error at 5 will always stop me from buying it.
Creative Mathematics.,. Nice.
Mike Aben I'm also bothered by the use of two 9s at 1 and three 9s everywhere else.
V9 x V9 / 9 .... there fixed that 1 for your addiction to 3 of 9s :-D
I wonder what 7 of 9 would say to the above conundrum ? hmm ? Jeri Ryan :-D
I would think Jeri Ryan would want 7 at each, not 3. 3 of 9 is one of her siblings, and gosh knows how they get along.
Make 1 to be 9^(9-9) and you have three nines for each number
Vikas S Bhat It could be, but I prefer the use of .9 repeated.
Vikas S Bhat I think it's more thought provoking. Gets you thinking about infinity.
