Also the hints could also be interpreted as 5 hints = 1+1+1+1+1 or 1+2+3+4+5. I'll work both.
(1+1+1+1+1)/2 + 1.558167481913534410027767526745 = 4.058167481913534410027767526745
or
(1+2+3+4+5)/2 + 1.558167481913534410027767526745 = 9.058167481913534410027767526745
both of these both produce numbers outside of the first 2 hints.
100 / 3 = 33.3333333 drop the integers and be left with 0.3̅3̅3̅ added to the above numbers will still result in a number larger than 2
So, maybe this
means add up all the results from the hints and divide that by 2. Well, there were no results from hint 1 & 2 so maybe
(1.558167481913534410027767526745 / 2) + 1.558167481913534410027767526745 = 2.3372512228703016150416512901175
then the result from 5 will add another 1/3 to the answer which is still larger than 2.
I'm going to have to take a step back then and reassess the problem.
Going to post this anyhow, to be able look over my work and to re-evaluate the problem
*edit
Or maybe hint 4 means add up the hints results divided by two and then add 1. You were specific with a large decimal number earlier, so why would you cut this one off.
(1.558167481913534410027767526745 / 2) + 1 = 1.7790837409567672050138837633725
but then when you add 0.33333333333333 = 2.1124170742901005383472170633725
Hrmmm, guess stepping back again.
