PUZZLES and PUZZLES GALORE!

So, I love puzzles, especially ones that involve numbers. I want to invite you all to play along with one I recently discovered. The way this will work is, I will post a puzzle, and you all can take a stab at finding the solution. Whoever completes the puzzle will then be able to post their own puzzle, and the person who completes that puzzle will post the next one, and so on.

This first puzzle is a doozy.

Using the following array of expressions, you must add only mathematical symbols to each line to make each line a true expression. You cannot add additional numbers, so no exponents are allowed, nor can you alter the = to an not equal sign. I will provide one single hint for the entire puzzle if asked, but only one hint, so use this option wisely. You do not have to solve the entire puzzle in one shot to make your guesses. Just copy and paste the information with your additions. Whoever comes up with the final solution will be the ultimate winner. I will verify any answer that is not immediately recognized as being correct.

**********COPY EVERYTHING BETWEEN THIS AND THE BOTTOM LINE**********

SIX THE HARD WAY

0 0 0 = 6

1 1 1 = 6

2 2 2 = 6

3 3 3 = 6

4 4 4 = 6

5 5 5 = 6

6 6 6 = 6

7 7 7 = 6

8 8 8 = 6

9 9 9 = 6

********************

Try your hardest without resorting to the wonders of the internet. Each line can absolutely be solved just by adding math symbols, and some lines have more than one solution.

Good luck!
 
To make it a little easier, I will add a single solution as an example:

*********COPY EVERYTHING BETWEEN THIS AND THE BOTTOM LINE**********

SIX THE HARD WAY

0 0 0 = 6

1 1 1 = 6

2 2 2 = 6

3 3 3 = 6

4 4 4 = 6

5 5 5 = 6

6 + 6 - 6 = 6

7 7 7 = 6

8 8 8 = 6

9 9 9 = 6

********************
 
Adding what my simple mind can handle

*********COPY EVERYTHING BETWEEN THIS AND THE BOTTOM LINE**********

SIX THE HARD WAY

0 0 0 = 6

1 1 1 = 6

2 + 2 + 2 = 6

3 x 3 - 3 = 6

4 4 4 = 6

5 5 5 = 6

6 + 6 - 6 = 6

7 7 7 = 6

8 8 8 = 6

9 9 9 = 6

*******************
 
Added one more

*********COPY EVERYTHING BETWEEN THIS AND THE BOTTOM LINE**********

SIX THE HARD WAY

0 0 0 = 6

1 1 1 = 6

2 + 2 + 2 = 6

3 x 3 - 3 = 6

4 4 4 = 6

5 / 5 + 5 = 6

6 + 6 - 6 = 6

7 7 7 = 6

8 8 8 = 6

9 9 9 = 6

0 0 0 = 6

(1+ 1+ 1)! = 6

Nice Job with the Factorial Chad. I knew that had to play in there somewhere.
 
*********COPY EVERYTHING BETWEEN THIS AND THE BOTTOM LINE**********

SIX THE HARD WAY

0 0 0 = 6

(1+ 1+ 1)! = 6

2 + 2 + 2 = 6

3 x 3 - 3 = 6

4 4 4 = 6

5 / 5 + 5 = 6

6 + 6 - 6 = 6

7 - 7 / 7 = 6

8 8 8 = 6

√9 X √9 - √9 = 6

*******************
 
Not sure if this one is allowed:

*********COPY EVERYTHING BETWEEN THIS AND THE BOTTOM LINE**********

SIX THE HARD WAY

(0!+ 0!+ 0!)! = 6

(1+ 1+ 1)! = 6

2 + 2 + 2 = 6

3 x 3 - 3 = 6

4 4 4 = 6

5 / 5 + 5 = 6

6 + 6 - 6 = 6

7 - 7 / 7 = 6

8 8 8 = 6

9 9 9 = 6

BOOM! KJ, and BOOM! Chad. Gonna combine them into one:

*********COPY EVERYTHING BETWEEN THIS AND THE BOTTOM LINE**********

SIX THE HARD WAY

(0!+ 0!+ 0!)! = 6

(1+ 1+ 1)! = 6

2 + 2 + 2 = 6

3 x 3 - 3 = 6

4 4 4 = 6

5 / 5 + 5 = 6

6 + 6 - 6 = 6

7 - 7 / 7 = 6

8 8 8 = 6

√9 X √9 - √9 = 6

*******************
 
Dang Chad, I was just going to post that. You're one step ahead of me.
 
*********COPY EVERYTHING BETWEEN THIS AND THE BOTTOM LINE**********

SIX THE HARD WAY

(0!+ 0!+ 0!)! = 6

(1+ 1+ 1)! = 6

2 + 2 + 2 = 6

3 x 3 - 3 = 6

√4 + √4+ √4 = 6

5 / 5 + 5 = 6

6 + 6 - 6 = 6

7 - 7 / 7 = 6

8 8 8 = 6

√9 X √9 - √9 = 6
