Prove and improve your
numerical agility with Maths Genius, the new app from
Walkthrough Publications.
First, randomly select 6
numbers from the spin columns. Steady your nerves then race
against the clock and try to get as close as you can to the
automatically generated target number using the 6 selected
numbers.
You can add, subtract,
multiply or divide any or all of the 6 numbers in your
pursuit of the magic target number. Once you’ve added,
subtracted, multiplied or divided two numbers together, you
can also use the resulting number in your equation.
So you think this sounds easy?
Well you ought to know that you can only use any instance of
any number just ONCE.
Keep track of your scores to
monitor your improvement. Once you get the hang of it why
not use Maths Genius’ functions to make the game even more
challenging. For example:
■ Set all the spin columns to
return all small numbers or all big numbers as opposed to a
mix. This makes the target number so much harder to reach.
■ Adjust the number ranges:
Choose larger increments or odd number ranges to up the
anti.
■ Reduce the solution time to
pile on the pressure
