You don't have to be a nerd to like math and you can keep your brain sharp by trying to hit the target number in this new arithmetic puzzler. The only two rules are no negative numbers and no fractions. You may hark back to days of playing 24 with a deck of playing cards in elementary school. Here, the puzzles have more variety and many, many more possible solutions. Some of the easy puzzles have as many as 300+ solutions and you only have to find three! Most of the hard puzzles only have 10-15 possible solutions and you have to find 10. So, test your skills and see whether you are a dunce or a savant. Starting now, enter the monthly contests for prizes. The inaugural month of June 2013 will have: 1st prize - iTunes gift card 2nd prize - iTunes gift card 3rd prize - TargetNumber T-Shirt The players with the most Prodigy Points per month will win. You will earn one Prodigy Point per solution found and bonus Prodigy Points for each puzzle you complete (Easy=1 point, Medium=3 points, Hard=10 points). The in-app purchase will unlock unlimited solutions per day and allow you to see your previous solutions. With the in-app purchase, you are limited to 5 solutions per day and can't see you old solutions.

I just went and tried to get mine stuck, but couldn't. Even if you hit the back arrow in the upper left it doesn't go back to the previous menu? greg05 Well-Known Member Apr 19, 2013 93 0 6 #4 greg05, Jun 1, 2013 Yes. I'm on the latest iOS version on iphone5, and the back arrow never works. Even on other pages, I can easily stuck there. Somehow now i'm on the upgrade page, but I also stuck there. jpswensen Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 79 0 0 Postdoctoral Associate Pullman, WA http://www.swengames.com #5 jpswensen, Jun 1, 2013 Strange. I can't make it happen on any of my three devices. I will keep trying to make it happen so I can fix it. I appreciate your feedback, as I really strive to have 100% bug and crash free apps. I am fixing one crash that another user reported right now. greg05 Well-Known Member Apr 19, 2013 93 0 6 #6 greg05, Jun 1, 2013 I can't guarantee you, but I will try to make a video about the bug or test it out next week, and report back. jpswensen Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 79 0 0 Postdoctoral Associate Pullman, WA http://www.swengames.com #7 jpswensen, Jun 3, 2013 I found the problem (and two other more minor ones while at it). I have the update in for review, so expect 3-7 days for it to get through the AppStore review process. Thanks for your help. greg05 Well-Known Member Apr 19, 2013 93 0 6 #8 greg05, Jun 3, 2013 Last edited: Jun 3, 2013 It just showed up for me UPDATE: Bug fixed Works like a charm UPDATE2: New bug: The whole app frozes when i'm trying to enter my mail address :/ UPDATE3: And the whole app just crashed UPDATE4: The whole monthly challange part is really buggy. Not saving my mail address, crashing, frozing... m13 Well-Known Member Feb 5, 2011 1,622 7 38 http://iosdevelopmentandbetatesting.blogspot.com/ #9 m13, Jul 1, 2013 I enjoyed TargetNumber and look forward to more contests in coming months. The swipe interface for solving math is very slick. Here are some suggestions: 1. Add some polish with sound effects. 2. More bugs squashing. Games hangs often for me on iPad gen 3. 3. More bonus points for the difficult level. In fact you might want to consider having a contest on difficult level to make it real challenging. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
