Use 2 numbers in Operation Six

I realize most people do not look at the help, or read examples, or do anything before trying to play Operation Six.

You do not have to use all 6 numbers in Operation Six!!!!  Try using two of the numbers.  Heck, one will work.  Using all six is really hard to do, but using less is still ok.

I probably have to add a tutorial that is mandatory, so more people understand what to do.

Operation Six Game

Operation Six out now!

My new app, Operation six is out for iPhone and iPod Touch.  Check it out.

There is a video

There is a solver in case you can't get a particular solution.

Games: Operation Six

There was a game called "Four-Fours" where you have to make every number 1-100 using only four 4's and the operations.  It was fun, and I wanted a game similar but easier for normal people to do.

Enter "Operation Six".  Use six randomly generated numbers to get the numbers 1-30.  You can use less than all 6, but the ultimate goal is to use all six.  I am pretty sure there is a formula that says this is always possible, but I have to double check.

Coming soon for iPhone, then iPad.  iPhone has 30 levels, iPad has 60.
The answer for he shot below:
6-6x3+9-4-1 (order of operations does not apply here.  Go left to right)

Which country does math better, US or Germany?

My current rental car is a Chevy, and this is what I noticed.

My battery gauge is split into 8 equal segments, with the lowest being 8, the highest being 18.  How many volts is each segment worth?

My gas gauge has 8 equal segments, and my tank is 20 gallons, how many gallons is each 1/8th of the gauge worth?

At home:
My VW has a gas gauge split into 16 segments, and I have a 16 gallon tank.  How many gallons is each section worth?

My temperature gauge ranges from 120 to 320, split into 10 segments.  How much is each section worth?

I think Europeans pay attention more.

Even cooler QR Code

Even cooler QR code.  Using a QR generator like THIS, you can set the error correction level so high as to be able to distort up to 30% of it, and the best way of distorting that 30% is with some cool picture or logo.
