In this chapter, you will learn how to generate MathSearch numeric puzzles like the one shown in Figure 14-1.

Figure 14-1. A MathSearch puzzle

You are probably familiar with WordSearch, in which you solve the puzzle by finding words in a grid of letters. In MathSearch, you need to find triplets of numbers so that when you apply a mathematical operation to the first two, you obtain the third one.

Figure 14-2 shows five examples of the triplets hidden in the puzzle shown in Figure 14-1
