You want to express numbers with only one number and certain operations. As an example, let us say you have addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division (and you are allowed to use parenthesis). And you only have five numbers 2 available. You can express the numbers 1 to 10 in the following way:
Your task is to do the same, but instead of number 2, use number 5, i.e. express numbers 1 to 10 with exactly five numbers 5 and combining them with four allowed operations: addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. You are also allowed to use parentheses.
[b]BONUS:[/b] Can you do it also for the number 23?
The best solution gets a token of appreciation...

@Miram My deepest apologies Miram, I did read your and wanted to give you a more thoughtful reply. I just send you a reply at the same moment you read this. BTW, to everyone else playing, Miram was the first one to answer correctly to my PM, she is just such a great sports that she said she wanted someone else to answer first. Kudos to Miram
