Daily number protocol / 001

Six numbers.
One exact result.

A daily puzzle about order, restraint, and finding the cleanest possible route.

Example solve: target 383. One hundred divided by two is 50. Nine plus eight is 17. Fifty multiplied by eight is 400. Four hundred minus 17 is 383.

01The method

The complete interaction

One move. Three decisions.

Choose a value, choose an operation, then choose the second value. The numbers stay fixed below so the operation can show its full effect.

Result returns to the board

Two available values become one. The result can be selected again on the next move.

With 48 and 6, addition makes 54, subtraction makes 42, multiplication makes 288, and division makes 8.

The board gets smaller. The possibilities change.

02The daily

One ritual, several ways in

Same target.
Different thinking.

Sumform is designed as a small daily encounter—not an endless feed. Finish the numbered puzzle, refine it, or keep going on your own terms.

01

Daily

One numbered puzzle for everyone. Solve it, replay it, then return tomorrow.

02

Freeplay

Keep thinking without waiting. Choose a difficulty or let Sumform decide.

03

Archive

Return to missed numbered puzzles and improve the route without rewriting history.

04

Stress Test

Harder numbered challenges arrive inside the sequence when a clean solve matters most.

03The design

Interface principle

No decoration without a job.

Sumform borrows from test sheets, instruments, registration marks, and printed systems. The visual language is strict so the moment of solving can feel playful.

Every state is visible

Selection, operation, result and completion each have one unmistakable treatment.

02

Efficiency is honest

The shortest known route sets the standard. Hints help, but never pretend otherwise.

03

Motion explains

Movement confirms a merge or an error. It never competes with the numbers.

04

Access is structural

Large targets, clear focus, custom symbols and spoken arithmetic are designed in from the start.

04The road

One system, built carefully

Start in the hand.
Move to the wrist.

05Questions

Before you ask.

A compact number puzzle. Combine two available values with an operation, return the result to the board, and continue until you reach the exact target.

No. Restraint is part of the puzzle. A valid route can leave values unused as long as every intermediate result is a positive whole number.

The arithmetic is familiar. The real puzzle is sequence, choice and efficiency: which pair now, which operation, and what useful value should remain?

The iPhone version is in active development. A public beta date will be announced only when the build and support systems are ready.

Apple Watch is the next planned expression of the daily ritual. Other platforms can follow once the iPhone game is established.
