Learn from a sample situation
Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.

Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
