You might want to recheck your answer for 4...

Just for the eights I would suggest
3√8 + 3√8 + 3√8
I'd say the number should be allowed since it belongs to the operator.
You decide!
Cheers!

Within the office, we solved 8 without the number in the operator... but you're on the right track.

Another option for 8:
8 - Cos(8 × π) - Cos(8 × π)

Pi is a number, I think. A mad-as-a-box-of-frogs number, but still a number.

It's a mathematical symbol which represents a number.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Aha!
8 - √√(8 + 8) = 6
Blindingly obvious once you spot it.
Edit: And then I see that Nagy edited his post and got the answer before me.

(sqrt( 8 + (8/8) ))!
8-sqrt(sqrt(8+8))

A couple of different solutions.
(1 + 1 + 1)# = 6
2# + 2 + 2 = 6
3# + 3 - 3 = 6
4# + 4 - 4 = 6
ϕ(5) + ϕ(5) + ϕ(5) = 6
ϕ(6) + ϕ(6) + ϕ(6) = 6
ϕ(7) + ϕ(7) - ϕ(7) = 6
ϕ(8)# + 8 - 8 = 6
ϕ(9) + 9 - 9 = 6

I, too, can invent mathematical operators at convenience.
For instance f(x1,...xn) = 6, for any xi.
Obviously,
f(1,1,1)=6<br />
f(2,2,2)=6<br />
...

ϕ(n) is the totient function. Number of integers relatively prime to n. ϕ(5) = 4, ϕ(6) = 2, etc.
N# is the primorial function. It multiplies all the primes less than or equal to N.
Both of these are more esoteric math operators that are used in higher math.

(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

You've got to remember how the Internet works -- half of the packets are routed through China, and my wife is important in China, so I get quicker service.

Well China is important to my wife (Royal Doulton particularly) and I don't get preferential treatment!
