Numgrid Numgrid is a number puzzle game, where you have to create a complete mathematically working board.

The board consists of 7x7 squares, whereby the corners have a random given number. Now you have to create 8 (4 vertical and 4 horizontal) equations so that the entire board makes sense. For this purpose you have to enter numbers from 1 to 9 and use addition, subtraction or multiplication signs were needed. The difficulty comes from the fact that you can't alter the corner numbers.

For example is the given top right corner the first element of the last vertical equation. Now choose a sign. The next number is the result of the second horizontal equation. Then choose a sign again and use the result of the third horizontal equation to calculate the result of that particularly vertical equation. The result here equals the given result of the bottom right corner. And so on. [source:mobygames]
