Thought about number equation creation for 2m 21s

One neat “trick” solution is to exploit the fact that anything (nonzero) raised to the zeroth power is 1. For example:

$$\bigl(46 + 19\bigr)\; \times \;\Bigl(\tfrac{55}{7}\Bigr)^{0} \;=\; 65 \;\times\; 1 \;=\; 65.$$

Here you have used all four numbers 19, 46, 55, and 7 exactly once:

• $46 + 19 = 65$
• $\frac{55}{7}$ is some nonzero number
• Raising that nonzero number to the power $0$ gives $1$

So the entire expression evaluates to 65.
