Outnumbered
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
Stretch your brain!
"It's great. It drives me crazy!!"
"It's nerve wracking! I'll need a lot of practice before I can leave the clock running."
Inspired by the popular TV series "Letters and Numbers" (or Countdown in Britain, Des chiffres et des lettres in France), Outnumbered is a booklet of number puzzles.
● Use arithmetic on 6 numbers to get as close as possible to a target number.
● Move numbers and operators by tapping or dragging.
● Swipe to turn the page - left for a new game, right for a previous game.
● Enjoy!
Full instructions:
You have 30 seconds to get as close as possible to the 3-digit target number by using arithmetic on some or all of the 6 candidate numbers. Each candidate number may be used at most once. Fractions are not allowed - only integers (whole numbers) may be used at any stage of the calculation.
Pages alternate between random and "play-along" games. Swipe to turn the pages.
To play a random game, select the numbers from the two shuffled piles of "large" and "small" numbers, and then the target number is randomly generated.
To play along with the TV show or a friend, select the 6 appropriate numbers from the face-up cards, then type in the target value.
Once the clock has started, tap the cards (numbers or operators) to quickly move them to the next available position, or drag them to the desired position. Remove cards from the board by tapping or else dragging them off the board. Move cards around on the board by dragging them.
If you don't want to race the clock, stop it by tapping the clock face. Tap it again when you have finished the puzzle.
