Puzzle Contest-142

1)make 6 with two 2's and math symbols?

2)You have currency notes of denomination 6, 9 and 20.
Each of them is available in unlimited quantity. You
have to find out whether a number exists such that all
amounts greater than this number can be paid using a
combination of these three currency notes but this
number cannot be.

Re: Puzzle Contest-142

1) Above answer is unfair becoz other digits are being used in power. Better answer is (sqrt(2/.2))! where ! is factorial, .2 is actually .2 with bar on its head, which means 0.222222222222222 which is equal to2/9.

2) There cannot exist a number such that all
amounts greater than this number can be paid using a
combination of these three currency notes becoz, prime numbers are infinite.
Inotehr words, if one says G is teh req number, I can find a, such that,
c= a*6*9*20+1 >G and c can obviously not be paid using the combination of 6,9,20
