[. . . ] The 25-100 key allows for the entry of whole numbers of either 25, 50, 75 or 100. The combination of these entries allows the computer to generate a whole number answer for which an equation has to be created to get the closest or match that answer. Note: You can enter single numbers, in the range 1-10 or large numbers, in the range 25, 50, 75 or 100 in any combination. To enter the formula you use the mathematics keys on the right hand side of the unit and the selection keys underneath the display. When you feel you have completed the formula you press the ENT/=(icon) key to register it. Page 21 of 42 So in the example above if the result was 000 <728> 100 50 8 6 6 3 !! Shown by the <728> on the top right of the display. You would begin you formula by pressing say: 100, then the X key, then 8 As you do this the figure on the top left changes to reflect the running total of your formula. So after the key strokes above the sub total would be <800>, shown on the top left of the display: 800 <728> 100 X 8 100 50 8 6 6 3 !! Page 22 of 42 You may continue the formula until you are satisfied with the result. Then press ENT to register the result and continue. Your formula is always shown on the middle line of the display, as shown below:- 800 <728> 100 X 8 100 50 8 6 6 3 ! ! ! !!!!!! - Used numbers have a marker underneath them to show that they have been used and marked numbers cannot be re-used until the next try. As with the word game numbers and functions can be edited using the cursor keys and delete keys. Numbers can also be inserted into formulas in the same way. Note: Entries must always follow normal mathematical rules. So the formula is always calculated in the priority of bracketed formulas first, Multiplication/Division second and then Addition/Subtraction last. If your formula fills the display it will move off the display to the left and an arrow will indicate this. As below:- Page 23 of 42 738 <728> ! 0 X 8- 50-6-6 100 50 8 6 6 3 - - -!! You may have as many tries at the formula as you can in the 30 seconds allowed. If your last try is still on the screen at the end of the Countdown sequence the unit will automatically accept it as an answer and validate it in the normal way. At the end of the Countdown sequence the unit will say out loud "Time is up" and the formula is checked by the computer, a score awarded (if any) and this score is shown by the following display:- NAME THIS GAME: TOTAL: ! 4 8 !! [. . . ] ! If the word is not correct then the unit will give you the nearest match in the dictionary that it can find. If you had for instance entered "CAF" and press ENT/= then the display will show:- CAFARD CAFE CAFES !! You can scroll up or down the list of available words by using the ) keys or you can press the ENT/= (icon) key to return to the ( game play screen.
