I’m a kids mode type player.
Me too. This game definitely did not come naturally to me. I could only brute-force it and backtrack.

#43Quite hard dude! I'm still going at it. Once you put down an equation like 100x3=300, your mind becomes committed to it...which biases your future choices & quickly leads you down the wrong path. Awesome game. Pls compile stats on average solve time. I'd be interested to know how long it takes to solve the daily summle on average (aka how dumb am I compared to rest of population ) You have +,-, * ,/. But no ^. Why ?…
It becomes much easier once you factor the number, rather than trying to narrow in on the answer

#44Wasn't that into it. I couldn't feel the connections as easily as Wordle between the incremental guesses.
It's not meant to have the same type of connections as Wordle, even though it looks like it.
You can't just randomly put in a combination and then use it or get info.. you really need to plan the whole thing out before doing anything.

#45Took a while, solved kids mode^^ I suck, thanks for rubbing it in. Incremental difficulty?

#46Nice. Summle seems a bit easier to get into than https://nerdlegame.com
I find nerdle easy. always 23+45=68. (only missing 0,1,7,9,-,*,/) so in one test, touched 8 of the 15 possible characters.

#47Actually, it isn't that hard (took me about 5 minutes to arrive at the 3 steps solution). Especially with a number like 486 which you might have met in school, when learning multiplication... Then again, I like the mental exercise :-)
Edit: And another 6 minutes for the 'hard' version (4 steps).

That's true if the solution is a product, not a sum.

#49[Spoiler alert] Terrible brute force program in JS says there is (possibly, didn't prove it) 6368 different solutions: https://gist.github.com/mvladic/9b2f2025a8c54aca78649ce17766...
How many if you filter out trivial permutations?

#50Inspired by Countdown? Been a while but don't they have 6 numbers? Might be nice to allow users to choose "2 big and 4 small" as well.
