The Proof! Math Puzzle Challenges play exactly like the
classic Proof! card game,
except here you're looking for a specific type of equation,
rather than just any equation at all.
First,
read the title
of the challenge to understand what you're looking for. You can click the
for a more detailed explanation.
Then, start solving it by
clicking a card, then a math symbol, and then another card
to combine those cards using that operation. Once you create
two or more cards with matching values
(called a pair, triplet, etc.)
that fit the bill for this challenge, you'll win!
Full instructions
for the classic game can be found here.
If you're stuck, first try clicking the
near the title of the challenge for a more detailed explanation
and an example of what you're looking for.
If you're still stuck, click "Show Hint" below to reveal the hint for this challenge.

Show Hint
This one would be a lot easier if you were allowed to make a 0! But since you can't, you have to find a more complicated equation that uses all 9 cards. One way to tackle this would be to start combining some numbers randomly to leave you with fewer, smaller numbers. For example, you could try divide 88 by 44 to get a 2 or 25 by 5 to get a 5. That way, it's a little easier to do the mental math that uses all the cards.
From the makers of Proof! comes the brand new math game, Adsumudi! Find the secret math path to Adsumudi's answer on each card by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing the other numbers. Find it first and collect the card. Five cards wins!
