Ballast 1 - maths

Today we tried a maths puzzle called ballast. I chose five numbers: 3, 5, 0, 2 and 4. The problem is all about balance. on side of the boat its multiplication and the other side is addition, and in the end the total numbers have to be the same.

2 x 4 = 8, and on the other side 0+3+5= 8 as well! and yeah that's how I did the puzzle!

Heres a template if you want to do it by yourself:

  1. Heya, Hannah. This looks like a very cool puzzle. I think that choosing your own numbers is a cool twist, since it can be different every time.
    I myself would have chosen -4, 21, 7, 3, and -1305. It would be funny to ask someone to try and finish it, because it pretty much cannot be finished!
