How to Play
Guess the equation, to reach a target result, in 6 tries.
- * All guesses are in the form num1 op num2 op num3 where
- - num is a number between 1 and 20
- - op is a mathematical operator + - * / (add subtract multiply divide)
- * The colour of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the solution.
- Examples
15, 1, 6, +, - are not in the equation in any spot
- 5 is in the equation but not at 3rd position (so must be 1st or 5th position)
- Multiply * is correctly guessed at the 2nd position, as is divide / at the 4th position.
- Equations are evaluated as follows:
- * any multiply operation(s) are calculated first
- / any divide operation(s) are calculated next
- + any add operation(s) are calculated next
- – any minus operation(s) are calculated last
- e.g. 3+2*5 is calculated as 3+(2*5) = 3+10 = 13 (grrrr)
- Notes:
- the current version of Humble Numble WILL permit you to enter an equation that does not calculate to the required total...this may help when you are REALLY stuck!
- The exact equation is required, ie 1+2+3=6 will not accept 3+1+2 as a solution (grrrr again)
- (and yes, the same number can appear twice grrrrr)
- Happy calculating!
