MakeNumber MakeNumber's goal is literally to make a number.

The player starts the game with seven randomly chosen numbers, whereby one is the result number and the other six have to be used to create that one.

Each game consists of up to five possible calculation steps, where the player can use one of the six numbers from above, the provisional results or even the result number (that one however will create a new result number). In addition, the player has the four basic calculation methods available (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), whereby it is unimportant if they just use plus or all of them.

The game ends successfully as soon as the player has reached their result number or it is Game Over when they are out of possible calculations (already used the five without proper result).

Finally, MakeNumber only supports positive numbers and no division resulting in numbers with remainder.

Therefore, the player has to think carefully before beginning calculation. [source:mobygames]
