Belated 20th Happy Birthday to Google (600613)!
Challenge: Use 6, 0, 0, 6, 1, 3 to make the number 20.
Rules:
Use all numbers, in that exact order.
Allowed operations: +, -, x, /, sqrt, (); no factorials, nth roots or powers
No concatenation of final result (e.g. 2 || 0) but concatenation allowed for original numbers
All numbers in base 10.

Are we allowed to use powers?

@WaisKamal Nope, only basic arithmetic operations and a square root.

Which bases can i use? Is it allowed to use the ternary system?

I'm a fool! Haha. Okay I think the easiest is noticing that 20 is the square root of 400, this is the third solution in the accepted answer.

Yes, G=6, but g=9 :) So the number should be 600913.

I wonder why this very obvious solution has not yet been mentioned:
(60+0ÃÂ61)/3
It's only 11 characters long. I doubt you can make it any shorter.
Even though this exact solution hasn't been mentioned, it is almost the same as xhienne's.

Heh. I thought I checked them all before posting. Hmmm... wait, that's a subtly different solution (assuming we're looking at the same). He's taking the square root of 400, I am multiplying 10 and 2.

Not quite an answer, but a kind of lateral (or literal) thinking one
$6times0+fracxx+0+6+13$ (assuming $x$ non-zero)
It's because
Allowed operations: +, -, x, /, sqrt, (); so, x is allowed (despite it's used as a variable, not operation; there is definitely a lowercase x, not a multiplication sign in the question text)
Nice thinking, but you use bothxandâÂÂ.

"no factorial" it seems.

@oray; thx, I'll go with 0*0 (I assume this is power?)

Isn't $0^0$ not really well-defined?

I wonder why this very obvious solution has not yet been mentioned:
(60+0ÃÂ61)/3
It's only 11 characters long. I doubt you can make it any shorter.
Even though this exact solution hasn't been mentioned, it is almost the same as xhienne's.

How about $sqrt600/6timessqrt1+3$?

Nice. Note that @Oray has already got that one :P
â TheSimpliFire
Oct 1 at 6:21
Heh. I thought I checked them all before posting. Hmmm... wait, that's a subtly different solution (assuming we're looking at the same). He's taking the square root of 400, I am multiplying 10 and 2.

How about this:
$-(6^0+0-6)(1+3)$
edit new one without power:
$fracsqrt600times6(1times 3)$

I'm a fool! Haha. Okay I think the easiest is noticing that 20 is the square root of 400, this is the third solution in the accepted answer.
