Well done team, the next one is much trickier.
Here are the rules.
Using four 4s and plus, minus, times, and divide make them total 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20
I'll give you number one and two to show you the way forward.
4+4
4+4 = 1
4x4
4+4= 2
Gedditt??
Now it's your turn!!

1 = 44 / 44
2 = 4 * 4 / (4 + 4)
3 = (4 + 4 + 4) / 4
4 = 4 + (4 * (4 - 4))
5 = (4 + (4 * 4)) / 4
6 = 4 + ((4 + 4) / 4)
7 = (44 / 4) - 4
8 = 4 + 4 + 4 - 4
9 = 4 + 4 + (4 / 4)
10 = (44 - 4) / 4
11 = (4 / 4) + (4 / .4)
12 = (4 + 44) / 4
13 = 4 + ((4 - .4) / .4)
14 = (4 * (4 - .4)) - .4
15 = 4 + (44 / 4)
16 = (44 - 4) * .4
17 = (4 * 4) + (4 / 4)
18 = (44 * .4) + .4
19 = (4 + 4 - .4) / .4
20 = 4 * (4 + (4 / 4))

Blimey Petal, I forgot about Google. when my old maths professor gave me that one there wasn't google there were barely pocket calculators.
I hope you didn't use google, did you?
Go to the naughty step.

Before getting to corner shop I bumped into neighbour was has sold her house with delays and is now moving in October. Turns out to one of my favourite corners of Nunhead...
Cute little houses only in that end of the road, which got no through traffic. And the pub is decent. Next to it are almshouses!
