Yes python. However, the asterisk symbol, designating multiplication in Phython, is treated as toggling bold text on and off due to the HTML "markdown" feature.

Yeah, you can write the symbol (once) by escaping out the ascii character sequence in html, but when you go to edit it, it turns into the ascii symbol. If you really want me to demonstrate it, ask because I have to escape out symbols to demonstrate, and I'm just up in the middle of the night for a few minutes.

Oh - I think I see the problem - where do you come up with this equation:

a+b+c+d+b+c+d+c+d+d

?

to simplify, lets do

its not 2+4+4...its 24 + 4

yes, and 2+4 = 6

It's adding the digit of each column together. What number do you think it ought to be?

I think the reason that we disagree is because when I see a number like 24, i think of it as 20+4 and you think of it as a 2 and a 4...when i saw the number 6666, I saw 6 thousand, 6 hundred and sixty six. and you saw 4 sixes

What is A+B?

What would your answer be in this case? Show your work. I don't understand what you don't understand.

I see it as 24...if B is 2x10 and a is 4x1, then is B=2 or B=20?

B = 2. Just 2. It's not 20, it's not 2x10, it's just a digit between 0 and 9, and in this case, it's 2

so 6666 is not 6 thousand, six hundred and sixty six? its just 4 sixes in a row?

so 6666 is not 6 thousand, six hundred and sixty six? its just 4 sixes in a row?

A is a single digit between 0 and 9
B is a single digit between 0 and 9
same with C and D

6666 is 6 thousands, size under and sixty six. But if you were to write "6666 = WXYZ", W=6, X=6, Y=6, Z=6.

What's the answer:

What's the answer:

It is either 1 or 25, most likely 1. I see that each section multiplied by the 5 in the middle equal the number on the opposite side.
