It’s probably been 15 years since I last solved an equation like this. Don’t think I’ve done anything harder than arithmetic since then
27^4x=9^(x+1)
4x log 27=(x+1) log 9
4x log 3^3 = (x+1) log 3^2
4x*3 log 3 = (x+1) * 2 log 3
12x=2x+2
10x=2
x=0.2

I feel nothing. Used to get a little bit of satisfaction from solving things like this.

Is there an app that allows you to do a problem like this a day? I’d like to rediscover the fun of it.

Enjoying fermi estimation though
This is kiki math. Fermi estimation is bouba math.
Like the difference between looking at an intricate clockwork mechanism vs a big explosion

Yes, I’d spend hours every week in high school doing less trivial versions of these kinds of problems for entrance exam prep…
Small dopamine hit each time, like a video game
