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.

Show Hint
This challenge requires a little creative thinking! First note that because you need three -1/4s, you should be using at most 3 cards per -1/4 otherwise you'll run out of cards. Next, note that for each -1/4, your last step will have to be subtracting a number that is 1/4 bigger from a number that is 1/4 smaller. For example, your first -1/4 can be made with 0 - (1 ÷ 4). Now try find the other two!
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!
