Ya good.. Hope the others are also getting the hang of the puzzle..
Don't worry . others also visit the thread and arise interest in puzzle.
wt happened lets have another kind of maths quiz in this thread............
Ok ..

1. Convert the number 4 to -4 by using three more 4's.

2. Convert the number 4 to 0 by making use of three more keys on the computer keyboard.
well, it can so many times so that you are going to lost in keeping record
hey sridevi check it for(Convert the number 4 to -4 by using three more 4's. )

(4*4)-(4!-4)=-4
Yes..correct rohit! and now the second one?. 'Convert the number 4 to 0 by making use of three more keys on the computer keyboard'. It is easy.. Just tell what r the keys..
@sridevi . i culdn't understand 2nd ques. three more keys on keyboard . what d u mean by this?
Oh! keyboard is the computer keyboard.. like Shft key, etc.. etc..
ok will ask in another way.convert 4 into 0 using one more 4..
@sridevi don't u think its damn easy to convert 4 into 0 by using one more 4.

4-4=0
oh ok.. by using 3 keys i meant 4%4.. so u will be using the keys: shft,5, and 4

Anyway.. yes rohit.. your solution was simple and right!
few more:

1. Using four 4's produce the result as 424
2. My uncle's age and grandfather's age are reverse of each other and both numbers are mutiples of 4. Can u tell the ages.
[Hint:Both of their ages. are less than 100!]
