Instructions for Sum of Squares Simulator

• Simulator not currently compatible with mobile

• Score is ((number of correct) - (number of incorrect) * (1/2)) * (900)/(time elapsed (in seconds))

• Sum of squares involves breaking down an integer into at most four numbers such that the sum of the squares of the four numbers equals the original integer:

• 310 equals (17^2)+(4^2)+(2^2)+(1^2) (1 2 4 17)

• 2338 equals (48^2)+(5^2)+(3^2) (3 5 48)

• 23674 equals (153^2)+(16^2)+(3^2) (3 16 153)

• In this simulator, answers should be simply separated by a “space” —as in the above parentheticals —- and can be written in any order.
