ok, officially not a clue whats going on with the numbers. Worked out the right answer easy enough but do you then have to do the bodmas (brackets, of, minus, addition, subtraction)???? as I put in what I thought was the right answer and Myleene jocked me right off out of it!

You have to get the total using the numbers given. Each number can only be used once but you do not need to use all numbers.
You have to show how you got to your answer.

You have to show how you got to your answer.

But when showing it, you do it in stages, so if the answer is, say (75 - 4) x 8) + 5, then do 75 - 4 and commit to it, then 71 will appear, multiply this by 8 and commit to it, take that answer and add 4. Took me a couple of goes of getting it wrong to work it out, and Rachel isn't very forgiving...

yes, but time is limited for each part of your 'equation' & their is no back button if you make an error. Its amazing the amount of times I worked out the answer and then forgot what to do first when keying it in :lol:

Was OK for me, it seemed to be essentially a Java app - update Java?

bspittles · **Posted:** 03 Jun 2011, 10:22

Do we have to pay after so many free games?

Typing in the conundrum is a bit short on time, and took ages to work out the committing bit of the maths :evil:
