    So what kodiak is saying isn't bogus.
    Not a building but I was on a cruise ship recently that didnt have a 13th floor. We asked a worker why? and he said no ships have them and its all the superstition thing.

            1+2+3 =/= 19

            That's all I can think of.

                    nice try

                    Again, this is not supposed to be a trick. Use the three digits in a formula to equal 19.

                        What about: 1+2+3+x = 19 ?

                        I doubt that fits in the rules.

                            No. It isnt a trick.

                                    Took me two minutes. So... if factorials and summations are okay, then I think I got it...


                                    3 (factorial) x 2 (summation) + 1

                                    That is: 3                                    ! x Σ2 + 1

                                    That is: 3(2)(1) x (2+1) + 1 = 19




                                    That works... is that the answer?

                                        It would, but you can't just have the summation of a constant like that. You have to set the bounds and the function you're summing.

                                            Yea, I'm done with this formula. I don't know enough math to throw in factorials and all that.

                                            The only thing I could come up with was:

                                            (3 squared) divided by 1/2 + 1 = 19

                                            But, if I understand the rules, if I use a square then I'm using the 2 in the formula. Outside of that, I have an extra 1 in there so I already know I'm off.

                                            I hate math.

                                                    True, but when I first learned summation, it was simply like that.
