    This is continuation from the previous thread Brain teaser / puzzle corner (part 2) because it has reached the maximum post count of 500. Please continue the discussion here.

    Speaking of which, I have another maths puzzle. Those who have played my 3333 puzzle would know what's going on.

    The first 20 members that completely and correctly solves this puzzle will each get 500 minerals!

    NOTE: DO NOT post your answers here. Send your answers to me via PM, so you are not not giving away the answers to others.

    Instructions: Use plus + , minus - , multiply x , divide / , and brackets () [] {} to fill in the spaces between each of the number in the following lines, so that each line equals the answer.

    For example: If the puzzle is 3 3 3 3 = 0. The solution would be 3+3-3-3=0. The aim is to make the numbers on the left equal to the answer on the right.

    The Puzzle
    1 2 3 = 1
    1 2 3 4 = 1
    1 2 3 4 5 = 1
    1 2 3 4 5 6 = 1
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 = 1
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 = 1
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 = 1
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 = 1
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 = 1
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 = 1


    Remember to send your solutions to me via PM. DO NOT post the answer here. There are many ways in each line to get to the answer, you will most likely to discover many different patterns that can be used to solve the entire puzzle quickly and easily. Remember that only completely correct solutions will count!

    Congradulations to the following members that solved the puzzle.
    UchihaItachi0129, josh, Bizarro_Paragon, LordKerwyn, ShdwyTemplar, tweakismyname, hillzagold, furrer, alucardx, Darktemplar_L, ToonMOG, Jewels.

    I wanna say time, but time can't be defeated.

    I also want to say Spartaaans, but that's not it either.

    I think death is a better fit for the riddle, compared to magma/lava.
