Goal

The goal is to solve three math operations in the fewest number of attempts.

Instructions

Each operation must follow the following format:

((A ? B) ? C) ? D = X

Where:

  • A-B-C-D: the four numbers, in any order and without repetition.
  • ?: three operators out of the four available, can repeat.
  • X: the result that the operation must reach.

If correct, you move to the next operation until completing all three. If wrong, you can try again, there is no attempt limit.

Keep in mind

Exercise your mental calculation to overcome the challenge!

Tips to solve it

  • Look at the target first: a large target hints at a multiplication, a small one at a subtraction or division near the end.
  • Try to make the target from the biggest number plus or minus a small adjustment, then build that adjustment from the remaining three.
  • Remember the expression is evaluated left to right, so the last operator acts on everything before it.
