Nonagon will put your math skills to good use. It offers four different modes: Normal, Timer, Negation, and Impossible. In all four modes the goal is generally the same: hit the target number within nine turns. You’re able to accomplish this seemingly simple task by punching numbers on the pad and adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing them. You’re limited to the numbers on the pad, so there is quite a bit of strategy involved, especially since you can’t undo entries.
Nonagon Pro – Mathematical brain training is available for free for a limited time. It has a 3.5-star rating with a total of 19 ratings.
