Hints: Playing with Matches
Matchstick puzzle help:
A list of concepts that are used in one or more of the puzzles:
- Chinese/Japanese characters for numbers
- Repeating decimals
- Writing out numbers in letters
- A pun
- Scientific notation
- Matrix multiplication
- A trigonometric function
- Unicode.
- Implied multiplication (ie. no “X” symbol)
