Psycho Math
"Psycho! Pysch! Psycho! Psycho! Math!"

Description

Psycho Math is a mathematician puzzle game. The game's host, Professor Rocket, will introduce a 3-value math problem. However, the numbers are replaced with countable pictures. The player will have to turn each picture into a number, as well as solve the math problem.

For example: Number of minutes in an hour + the number of fingers and toes you (should) have ÷ the number of days Noah was at sea.

Which would become: 60 + 20 ÷ 40 = 2

Tips and Tricks

Several of the countable objects are displayed in the picture.
