Given a finite sequence of digits, we consider the question whether this sequence can be turned into a valid equality, by inserting operations + , - , * and /, brackets and one equality sign between each of the digits. Is it so that from a certain length onwards, all sequences can be turned into such an equation? In order to answer this question, we consider another predicate: can a sequence of digits be turned into an an expression denoting 0? For these two questions we develop a little mathematics, and using these results we developed a computer program that gives some concrete results. All sequences longer than 7 digits can indeed yield zero: the greatest sequence that cannot yield zero is 8985898. All sequences longer than 8 digits can yield a valid equality: the greatest sequence which cannot is 98589808.
