A useful example
Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
