How high can we get using four fours and any valid mathematical device (=,-,x,/,sq root, power 4 (and that's one of the fours),4 factorial, and so on? Remember BODMAS.
1 = (4 + 4) / (4 + 4)
2 = (4 / 4) + (4 / 4)
There's two easy numbers to start with.

10 = (√4 + √4) x √4 + √4
or
10 = (4x4) - (4 + √4)

Why - this it too much like a maths lesson for my liking. What's the biggest number you've made so far then?

Count me out on Maths. Spelling is quite difficult enough. Are you sure you don't want to try Quantum Physics?
