I'm fine with more functions. The main reason why I dislike the ceiling/floor functions is that you can abuse them to essentially get any number you want out of a single 5 by just using repeated square rooting and random other functions.

I think we've always been able to use any function, just now I've made a list of them that's as complete as I can find infor for - we still can use floor/ceiling but maasman and I are avoiding them if possible.

383 = σ(5!) + 5! + 5!! + 5 + Π5
383 = 240 + 120 + 15 + 5 + 3
383 = 383
(having done all that bloomin research I've gotta slip some of the "new" ones in there
)

397 = Γ5 x (5!! + (Π5 x .5)) + μ(5!!)

Too easy to cheat this one
421 = 5# x 5!! - 5# + 5/5
421 = 30 x 15 - 30 + 1
421 = 450 - 29
421 = 421
Next target: 431

Another cheat
491 = 5# x 5!! + Γ5 + 5!! + σ(5!!)
491 = 30 x 15 + 24 + 15 + 2
491 = 450 + 41
491 = 491
