    Rules of the Game: Use only the digits 2, 0, 2, and 4, in any order*, with the operations +, −, x, ÷, ^ (raised to a power), sqrt (square root), ! (factorial), and !! (double factorial) to write expressions for the counting numbers 1 through 100. Grouping symbols may also be used. Write your answers without using equals signs.

    Correct format: (2 − 0) * 2 + 4


    Incorrect format: 2 + 0 = 2 + 2 = 4 + 4 = 8

    *The order 2, 0, 2, 4 is preferred.
