That's all there is to it! Try to turn all the squares into "1" squares, to get the smallest possible sum for the sum of all the numbers on the board. 2.2 Note - You now can't hop with factors of 1 or anything red (color version) or gray (B&W version), but if you start a new turn all your redded-out "non-1" factors are made hoppable again. Number fanatics try it!

If the wrong bug is swatted, the other three keep crawling, and give the student an extra chance. In the other variation, the student pops the bubble under the correct answer instead of swatting a bug. This is a HyperCard game.
