using exactly three 3, and any operations +,-,/,*,^....
make all the numbers 1-20

no square cuz square is ^2 and u can only use 3, no celing, floor or approximates
square root is allowed, but dont argue, i got this without using squres

i will demonstrate 3 since its the easiest

1=
2=
3= 3*3/3
4=
5=
6=
7=
8=
9=
10=
11=
12
13=
14=
15=
16=
