In this Death Match, use the hexes on the grid to form equations that solve for the target number.

DM2: Find Hex, originally designed by CaffeineBoost


In Find Hex players aim to form valid equations on a hex grid, each round they will be presented with a hex grid with each hex containing a number or a symbol and below would be a target number, the goal is to create an equation that satisfies the target

  1. You must alternate between number and symbol
  2. If you start with a symbol it must be a -
  3. Each element of the equation must be adjacent on the grid to its neighbours



In the above example board 5+3-6 satisfies the prompt


Keep in mind the order of operations is observed here (BIMDAS, BODMAS, PEMDAS etc.)

Reminder: Calculators and prewritten calculations are not permitted, a writing implement and blank paper are however allowed and recommended


The game will have up to 15 rounds, the boards size will increase every 3 rounds and will have the following number of hexes: 7, 10, 14, 17, 19


If a player thinks they have an answer they buzz in by sending their player token in chat, after which they have 30 seconds to send their equation to the channel, if they fail to send an equation or send an incorrect equation their opponent wins the round, if they send a correct equation they win the round


If neither player buzzes in after 3/5/8/10/12 minutes(increases based on board size) then the round ends with neither player scoring


The player with the most points at the end of the death match wins, in the event of a tie the DMO wins

Note: when submitting it is recommended to do x over * for multiplication due to discords formatting and while รท does work / would be easier to type when inputting division


Clarification: each tile can only be used once in an equation
