hope this one's right!
If more functions are to be used along with 2,3,4,5 and +, = then there are
n to the power n solutions.

(2+3) = ceiling(4.5)
etc. etc.

Your language was ambigous, should have mentioned that any more operators can be used.

try this one out if u haven't solved before.
using 2 3's and any mathematical operator make 20.
quite easy actually.

By moving the numbers around in the diagram, make it so that every number is a factor of the sum of the numbers around it.

PS: around => example, around 5 the numbers are 2,3,4,6,7
and around 6 the numbers are 3,5,8

hey cool astronomer,
"moving around" actually means by moving the numbers around inside this given structure
give a final arrangement such that it meets the required criterion
