It is a very clever concept and makes for some nice levels. I felt myself getting better as I played. I played this game for a very long time until I got completely stuck on \"0 = 14\" and rage quit. How far does the game go? Will you provide hints\/solutions?\n\nBTW, if I split 9 into -4, I can get a minus sign that's not leading... this leads to a weird situation where there are few valid moves, and I think it should be impossible.\n\nInnovation: Yep! Very creative.\n\nTheme: Sure.\n\nGraphics: It's very bare-bones, but somehow that's suitable. The rotations are nice.\n\nHumor: Yeah, it's a funny version of arithmetic.\n\nMood: There isn't a lot of \"mood\" - I guess it has the \"mood\" of using a weird calculator.\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"berumondo","author_uid":"1143145","time":"2019-10-13T09:16:02Z","epoch":1570958162,"modified":1570958162,"text":"My favorite concept in ld45 so far, makes much more sense to me than actual math :D","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"DrEvilBrain","author_uid":"1078210","time":"2019-10-14T03:17:28Z","epoch":1571023048,"modified":1571023048,"text":"Gonna get an F+ on my next discrete exam now","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld45\/162718-5041e97102454210300d334545646be2.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/ratly.itch.io\/bad-math","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/ratly.itch.io\/badmath-original","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"55651","g_author":"1001413","g_event":"LD45","g_eventkey":"78","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"263150","g_title":"I Don't Think That's Math","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"931","g_commentcount":"11","g_site2_node_id":"162718","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"162718","n_urlkey":"263150","n_parent":"159347","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/45\/i-dont-think-thats-math","n_slug":"i-dont-think-thats-math","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"1413","n_created":"1569724563","n_modified":"1570547062","n_version":"522996","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":162718,"parent":159347,"superparent":9,"author":1413,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2019-10-07T20:08:18Z","created":"2019-09-29T02:36:03Z","modified":"2019-10-08T15:04:22Z","version":522996,"slug":"i-dont-think-thats-math","name":"I Don't Think That's Math","body":"0=1, and 1 = 0. Nothing is as it should be. But nothing is everything, and everything is nothing.

You may insert the same leading digit to both sides. \n- **The Laws of Splitting and Merging**: Of course, you may deconstruct a digit into its parts, or construct a digit from its parts. For example, it is well known that an 8 is simply a 0 with a belt through it. You may remove the belt and place it to the left side, and therefore 8 = -0.\n\n![Screen Shot 2019-10-07 at 3.58.00 PM.png](\/\/\/raw\/658\/72\/z\/27735.png)\n","meta":{"author":[1413,161878],"link-01-tag":[42336],"grade-06-out":"1","cover":"\/\/\/content\/658\/72\/z\/27726.png","link-01":"https:\/\/ratly.itch.io\/bad-math","link-01-name":"HTML5:  update: bug fix, and first levels re-ordered","link-02":"https:\/\/ratly.itch.io\/badmath-original","link-02-tag":[42336],"link-02-name":"HTML5 - original"},"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/45\/i-dont-think-thats-math","parents":[1,5,9,159347],"love":0,"notes":11,"notes-timestamp":"2019-10-14T03:17:28Z","grade":{"grade-01":30,"grade-02":29,"grade-03":29,"grade-04":30,"grade-05":28,"grade-07":27,"grade-08":26},"magic":{"cool":123.00768289971,"feedback":2,"given":36.125,"grade":28.428571428571,"grade-01-average":3.018,"grade-01-result":931,"grade-02-average":3.037,"grade-02-result":750,"grade-03-average":3.87,"grade-03-result":131,"grade-04-average":2.893,"grade-04-result":852,"grade-05-average":2.135,"grade-05-result":1030,"grade-07-average":3.1,"grade-07-result":367,"grade-08-average":2.458,"grade-08-result":1016,"smart":14.276179609447}},"text":"0=1, and 1 = 0.
