This is the blog for 24theory, a website dedicated to solving 24 the math game. I am going to use this blog to document the progresses.
Recently I decided to move my 24 the math game solver and solutions from ocf.berkeley.edu here. Not that there is anything wrong with The OCF, I love the ocf and the idea of independent student-run services. The only concern is that the ocf service is not always as stable as I’d like it to be.
And I will put more effort in reducing more redundancies in the solutions. Another thing to do in the future is to code up an interactive solver in HTML5.
I think at this moment I have achieved the goals I started with. It feels good.
And a year later, we have 500 unique visitors a day with a bunch of math 24 games to play with. Mobile apps have been downloaded more than 10,000 times in 3 months.
It’s a good run.
I love the site and the training and entertainment it provides.
However,
There is a typo in the title on the web-page: nubmers instead of numbers
4 Nubmers! game – 4nums, best math game online .
Cheers,
love this game and am absolutely addicted I also noticed the spelling mistake as my mum is a gernalist and I have grown up with words which is probably why I love this game so much I got into it when my headmaster started a game 24 club and I wandered if they did it online (because we used cards)and what do you know they do!
Bye
Hi Mousemoustacheman,
Thanks for commenting on 4nums.com. What spelling mistakes have you found on the site?
Please let us know!
Hi,
Great site!
If I could suggest a small addition: On the Solver page, after printing the possible solutions for a puzzle, could you also list where in the ranking of difficulty that particular puzzle currently appears (i.e. a grep of the list at 4nums.com/game/difficulties/)? It would save me having to check it separately for those puzzles I just can’t figure out.
Thanks Eddy!
Great suggestions and I have just put something there. Let me know if it’s what you wanted.
