: In addition to all this, I've noticed that your use of brackets is erratic.  For example, on [[Episode 1523]], you entered 963 = ((6 + 4) × 10) + (5 + 2) × 9.  Should be ((6 + 4) × 10 + 5 + 2) × 9.  The way you'd written it, it added up to 163, not 963, because multiplication and division have precedence over addition and subtraction by the rules of arithmetic notation. -- [[User:Smjg|smjg]] 17:17, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello, whoever you are, thank you for your contributions. A few tips:

  • You might want to create yourself a user account. (That page is on Wikipedia, but it's the same software, so much of it'll apply here too.)
  • Check that you're adding all the appropriate categories. I've noticed that many of the ones you've put in are missing the numbers solutions, and so ought to have Category:Partial recaps.
