The Rules of Arithmecards
General
A seven digit phone number is given to the player. The objective of the puzzle is to solve for the seventh digit using only addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. The order of operations is strictly left to right (see example below). Answers that are computed involving fractions or divisions/multiplications by zero are not allowed.
If the player solves the first phone number, a new number will be given, where the seventh digit is now at the front of the phone number. The player solves the puzzle when all seven digits in the phone number have been solved.
Example
If given the phone number:
168-4467
1 + 6 * 8 - 4 / 4 - 6 = 7 is a valid solution.
1 * 6 * 8 + 4 / 4 - 6 = 7 is also a valid solution.
