Numble (numble.wtf)
Hit the day's target number using only the numbers given.
Every day: A new target and set of numbers every day, the same for everyone: build an expression with +, -, x, / and brackets that hits the target, against the clock. New puzzle: Daily.
Numble is a daily maths game: you get a target and a handful of numbers, and you write an expression with the four operations and brackets that reaches the target exactly. A timer starts when you press START, every challenge is guaranteed to be solvable, and the solution appears if you give up.
About Numble (numble.wtf)
Numble shows a target at the top of the screen, such as 214. When you press START the day's numbers appear and the clock begins. You build an expression with the numbers and the buttons for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and brackets, and the game shows the running result as you go.
You may only use the numbers provided, and the goal is to hit the target exactly as fast as you can. Each daily challenge is generated so that it is guaranteed to have a solution, and if you give up the game shows one.
The daily target and numbers are the same for everyone, which makes times easy to compare. An archive holds earlier days, and a Bonus puzzle offers an extra challenge.
It suits anyone who enjoys the numbers round of Countdown or mental arithmetic puzzles, and it takes only a few minutes.
