A useful example
Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
