Number Mill
About PlayMemorize Number Mill
Send numbers through sequential arithmetic operator stations along a factory conveyor belt to compute the unknown value
Number Mill brings algebraic function machines to life as a factory conveyor belt. An input number enters the belt and passes through sequential arithmetic stations that add, subtract, or multiply.
In forward rounds, you compute the final output after all stations run in order. In higher-difficulty inverse rounds, the final output is shown and you work backward to find the unknown input number.
