I am in need of a rube goldberg math equation. Seriously, I need a ridiculously complex equation that when solved will give the answer of 7. A similar one that solves to 8 would also come in handy. This is for some workplace shenanigans. Thanks!

Play with your calculator then reverse the operations. Not too hard. Use fun stuff like log and "e".

e^(pi*i) = -1

let us know what you come up with

Even if someone does post it, the text limitations of the keyboard will make it illegible.

Just start with the simple statement x=7, and build it from there.

i have no idea what this one is, found it on the internet..but it's similar to what i'm looking for

i'd be really pleased if it was even more complicated[img='middle']http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/smiley_abused.gif" />

(ps, i have absolutely NO idea what this one does or how to solve it)

eta: maybe something like this:
