Numbers and maths

Countdown numbers

The TV numbers game, chat edition: six numbers, a target, and everyone calculates at once. The hub checks every calculation and finds a solution.

How a game goes

  1. Six numbers (1 to 10, and 25, 50, 75, 100) and a target between 101 and 999 show on the overlay.
  2. Viewers type their calculation in chat, with + - x / and parentheses; each number at most once, and every step must divide exactly and stay positive.
  3. The overlay shows the best result so far, "exact" or "3 off", and who holds it, but never the calculation.
  4. At the end the best calculations show with a solution; 50 points for the exact count, 5 fewer per unit off, a 25-point bonus for the first.

On the viewers' side

Viewers take part by typing a calculation with the numbers on screen, for example (25-5)*4+3. Everything happens on the overlay in OBS: no extension to install, nothing to authorise.
