Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What you need to achieve
Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
The playing sequence
- Choose two values in order.
- Choose addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
- Combine and repeat.
- Undo explores alternatives; Show solution reveals a verified expression.
How to use the controls
Tap two values, an operation and Combine. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Follow the example
Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Keep this in mind
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
