Solve the following equation. Xp

Obtain a solution of 27 from the numbers 1,3,4 and 9 by using only

multiplication, division, addition, subtraction and brackets/parentheses.

The numbers only can be used once, in any order, and all the numbers must be used. Any combination of mathematic symbols can be used. For instance, the '+' symbol can be repeated in the equation.

If you solve this question (PM me your answers), don't tell anyone.
Ask THEM to solve it or remain forever ignorant of the answer.
Good way to drive someone insane.

Either I misread that question or this was INCREDIBLY easy.

Solved it in about 5-10 seconds

I'm having a pretty good time. Ask me things

Just add them all. Whoever wrote this thought they could fool people by making them think they have to do more. They're only fooling themselves.

It ends.
