Another set of solutions, 8 4 2 1.

CODE
d == ((3*c)/c)/c)


If you enjoy math puzzles then you should check out project euler


Code got busted there, should have casted to double or float, because mathematically 1 != ((3 * 2) / 2) / 2.

edit: tried bolding the code, didn't work =P


yeah, my bad, what a stupid mistake. This is what working in scripting languages does to a person, you start taking these small things for granted smile.gif

This is not my homework, I made the equations ... Just modified one that I was able to solve and added a twist ...
Warning! Spoiler inside. 

And please, can a mod move this to another forum?

Flash on GNU/Linux is extremely buggy, you can thank Adobe(yay crappy closed source software!) for that, nothing you can really do about it. Gnash can't come soon enough.

In Topic: Installing Ubuntu on a Leopard Mac

You will have to edit the grub boot menu. Its located in /boot/grub/menu.lst
Add the following to it:

CODE
title Leopard
kernel (hd0,x)/boot/boot_v8


x is the partition leopard is installed on, most likely the first partition so x's value would be zero.

edit: thats using the pc_efi bootloader, you can also just add:

CODE
title Mac OS X: Leopard
root (hd0,x)
makeactive
savedefault
chainloader +1


to your /boot/grub/menu.lst and it should work fine
