Make 32 with two 2s only no more digits and any mathematical symbols?

2^5 = 32
But if you have to use two 2s then:
2(2^4) = 32

[Suvam94]

Two 2's ONLY! There's a 4 in there.

[WatercolouredGirl]

Usually, powers aren't considered extra digits

[WatercolouredGirl]

^ is the longhand way to write "to the power of"

[Suvam94]

4 is a digit irrespective of where you place it. And 2 and 2 should be the only digits used!

Usually, powers aren't considered extra digits.

What's this for anyway? And how would you work it out?

[Suvam94]

Wait please! Let's see if there is a person who's more intelligent than you here or not!

[Vyxzuw]

2((2*2)^2))=32
2(4^2)=32
2(16)=32
32=32

[Suvam94]

You can only use TWO 2's

[Vyxzuw]

2*F+2

Well, it equals 32 at least. I mean you said no more DIGITS not no more numbers...

[Suvam94]

What is "F" here?

[Vyxzuw]

Base 16, so it would equal 15.
Technically this would equal 20 in base 16.

[Intraluminal]

22 in base 15 is equal to 32 in base 10

[Vyxzuw]

Too bad that you have to use the digits 1 and 5 to denote which base you're using.
