Thought I'd add one of my favorites to the mix:
You may add any math symbol to the numbers below to make the equations true, but are not allowed to use any numbers other than the ones shown. Can you solve all ten equations? I've done one as an example.

0 0 0 = 6
1 1 1 = 6
2 2 2 = 6
3 3 3 = 6
4 4 4 = 6
5 5 5 = 6
6+6-6 = 6
7 7 7 = 6
8 8 8 = 6
9 9 9 = 6

Extra challenge: Can you solve them all for =5?
