A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Wrong. Two hints:

7x7=9 at the end, not 7.

30x30=900, already more than 777.

One hint: 3x7=21, 21x37=777.

When in doubt, use a calculator.

Oh I am sorry. I did not see the x sign between 3 and 7. Lol.

? My calculator definitely thinks that 3x7x37=777. Did you read it as 37x37 instead?

Yes. Thanks. Sorry.

You don’t even need a calculator for a quick calculation, take the closest value of 10: 3x7=21x37 or easier 20x40 = 800 which is close to the actual number, 777.
