What's New

1) Fixed a crash on some devices when reporting scores save while playing without an internet connection.
2) Fixed a potential hang after solving a puzzle.

App Description

Add, subtract, multiply and divide to use all five playing pieces to compute the target number. You don't have to be a nerd to like math and you can keep your brain sharp by trying to hit the target number in this new arithmetic puzzler. The only two rules are no negative numbers and no fractions.

You may hark back to days of playing 24 with a deck of playing cards in elementary school. Here, the puzzles have more variety and many, many more possible solutions. Some of the easy puzzles have as many as 300+ solutions and you only have to find three! Most of the hard puzzles only have 10-15 possible solutions and you have to find 10.

So, test your skills and see whether you are a dunce or a savant.

Starting now, enter the monthly contests for prizes. The inaugural month of June 2013 will have:
1st prize - $50 iTunes gift card
2nd prize - $25 iTunes gift card
3rd prize - TargetNumber T-Shirt
The players with the most Prodigy Points per month will win.

You will earn one Prodigy Point per solution found and bonus Prodigy Points for each puzzle you complete (Easy=1 point, Medium=3 points, Hard=10 points).

The in-app purchase will unlock unlimited solutions per day and allow you to see your previous solutions. With the in-app purchase, you are limited to 5 solutions per day and can't see you old solutions.
