A useful example
Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
