Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What you are aiming for
Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.
Making your moves
- Choose two values in order.
- Choose addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
- Combine and repeat.
- Undo explores alternatives; Show solution reveals a verified expression.
Controls
Tap two values, an operation and Combine. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
Work through an example
8 ÷ (3 − 8 ÷ 3) = 24. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
Keep this in mind
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
