Objective

The main goal in each round is to reach the TARGET number displayed. You achieve this by selecting exactly three cards from the pyramid in a specific order to form a mathematical expression.

How to Play

• Card Selection: Click on three cards from the pyramid one by one.
  • The 1st card selected contributes its number.
  • The 2nd card contributes its operator AND its number.
  • The 3rd card contributes its operator AND its number.
• Equation: The game forms an equation like: (1st Card's Number) [2nd Op] (2nd Card's Number) [3rd Op] (3rd Card's Number).
• Order of Operations:

  A specific order is applied: If the second operator (from the 3rd card) is `×` or `÷`, AND the first operator (from the 2nd card) is `+` or `-`, the multiplication or division is performed first.

  Example 1: 5 + 3 × 2 is calculated as `5 + (3 × 2) = 11`.

  Example 2: 10 × 2 - 3 is calculated as `(10 × 2) - 3 = 17`.

  Division by zero will result in an error.

Scoring

• Correct New Solution: +1 point.
• Incorrect Answer: -1 point (total score cannot go below 0).
• "Found Again!" (Duplicate in same round): No points change.
• Time's Up: No score penalty. Round ends.
• Skipping Round: No score penalty. Round ends.

Streaks

• A "Streak" counts consecutive *new, unique* correct solutions.
• It resets to 0 for incorrect answers, duplicates, time-ups, or skips.
• The streak carries over across rounds if not broken.
• A visual cue ("Streak: 🔥 X") appears for streaks of 2 or more. No extra score bonus.

Game Setup

• Rounds: Choose between 3 to 10 rounds per game.
• Time Limit: Set a time limit from 30 to 180 seconds for each round.

Hints

• A limited number of hints (currently 2) are available per round.

Game End

• The game ends after all rounds are completed.
• A summary shows your score, attempts, time, and percentile rank.
• You can review your answers and system solutions.
