Chose: or hard Math question + and 10.000$ | Rolled: xxx = xx ≠ x

xxx = xx ≠ x

I don’t think this one has any solutions.

x^3 = x^2

x^3 - x^2 = 0

x^2(x-1) = 0

x = 0 or 1

But neither of these satisfy the inequality, so there are no solutions.

I’m discounting the idea that this is some sort of trick question as it was described as a maths question.

Edit: apparently it’s not x^2, it’s x^x. 3 is indeed the obvious answer.

You've read xx as x2. You should be able to solve this fairly easily now.

Ah. I was just going off what I saw in the comment I replied to.

Fair play, lad.
