# Matryoshka

Brackets · 30 levels

Nest numbers in dolls to hit the target exactly.

## How to play

- Tap a first and a last number to wrap them in a doll. Tap a doll to take it off.
- What's inside a doll is worked out first; dolls can nest. Outside dolls, × and ÷ go before + and −.
- Hit the target using exactly the dolls shown. A ÷ that isn't whole cracks its doll.

Work backwards from the target: which two numbers could make it? Each doll shows its value on its belly.
