Thanks to Matthew, I now have a little bit more analysis on Wei-Hwa’s first puzzle challenge.
There is a well known math game that involves taking four small integers and using them to create a mathematical expression equal to 24. In the case of Wei-Hwa’s challenge the integers are 8, 8, 3, and 3. Now, of course, not all number sets can be used to create an expression equal to 24, but approximately 80% of sets formed with low integers will work.
Matthew points out that you can try to make expressions that equal other integers. Or see how many integral results you can get with a set. From the post:
