Completely frustrating operations

Me having to skip levels

Truly an educational game

Unlike most attempts, which can more accurately be described as “educational” game or educational “game”. I’m genuinely having fun while also brushing up on my math and logic. Who knew the number 666 could provide such a wide variety of puzzles.

Update: knocking off a star because some of the late puzzles with the third operator get too tedious with too much trial and error
