How can you add eight 8's to get the number 1000?
Choose an answer
A.8 x 8 x 8 x ... = 1000
B.8888 - 8888 = 1000
C.80 + 80 + 8 x 8 x 8 = 1000
D.888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000
Hint: It's a word with 0 letters, starting with "8".
Answer
888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000
Why this is the answer
Try combining the 8's into different-length numbers (888, 88, 8) rather than adding eight separate 8's.
