One more time...

Okay, so after the little lesson earlier in math, Mr. Language Arts and I were a little leary when Mr. Science Teacher showed up with yet another math problem.

But he assured us it was solvable.

To make sure, though, I have solved it (And I got a cool "Well Done" sticker from Mr. Science Teacher to prove it. :) )

So, here's the problem;

1, 2, 4, 6 = 10

Make this true, you may use any of the four standard operators (+, -, x, \) and you may use brackets or exponents (As in you may place the numbers in a bracket (2+1)+(4+6)=10 or you may use the numbers as exponents (1^2x4^6=10). But you have to make it true.

By the way, Mr. Language Arts and I are very proud of our "Well Done" Stickers... as he admitted he sucks at math too :D

---Me.

P.S. Patsy, if you use Sebster, you have to wait for someone else to get the correct answer before posting it, because that kid is freaking smart ;)

Sticker me, please:

(1^2 x 4) + 6 = 10

Another option that involves way too much overthinking is:

((1-2)*(-4))+6=10

Yay for killing a fly with a bazooka!
