Nice find. BTW, I don't understand the computation for "7" : 9-sqrt(9)+ ? = 7, what is actually the ?

Reading that would be "point nine bar". Some mathematical notations are used differently in different situations. I believe that they mean "ad infinitum" there. So:
nine minus root nine plus point nine bar = 9 - 3 + 0.999999999999999999999... = 7
Math is just wonky sometimes with odd symbol usage. I generally think of "bar" as meaning absolute value or ad infinitum for several digits, with dot being used for 1.

Thanks ! I only used to see a bar over a value to designate the conjugate of a complex number.

Neat! But for the 5-spot, it looks like they pictured "(sqrt(9!))" when it ought to be "(sqrt(9))!".
