[Colt45]

(5+5) / 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 37


edit too many 5's

But you have 7 5's 😕

Here are my two.

(5!+5!-55)/5
(5*5)+(5!/(5+5))

Thats not even a real number Keanu :laugh:

Proud day for you and your family. Keanu Reeves, you look rather pleased. Let's see what you wrote down: [ a blank screen is revealed ] Nothing. The question was write anything, and you got it wrong. I'm speechless. Let's see what you wagered: Eleventy billion dollars. That's not even a real number.

((5+5)/5)^5+5

This is my favorite solution yet.

 

[misle]

(5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5)/5 = 37

 

[xcript]

((5*5)+5)+(5/5) = 31 = octal 37
((5+5)+(5/5))*5 = 55 = hex 37

😛
