yes, you can read in any order you like but if you're putting 2 numbers together, by this example, it has to be 75. It can't be 57.

Oh, well. I was worth asking. It would've helped with all the 9's and 7's I drew.

But this does work, correct?
7+7=14 => 1+4 or 5

Susan wrote: "But this does work, correct?
7+7=14 => 1+4 or 5"

ok so I'm looking at the numbers you drew and I noticed you drew two 7s consecutively. You're not actually adding the consecutive numbers you draw, you're putting them side by side so with your numbers you actually have 77 not "7+7=14"

Sorry, Susan, that will make it harder but with each 7s, you can work out
1+6 = 7
3+4 = 7
etc

Tien wrote: "You're not actually adding the consecutive numbers you draw, you're putting them side by side so with your numbers you actually have 77 not "7+7=14"

OK, I think I understand now. Thanks for explaining.
Over the course of the year, I don't think I'll have any trouble reading books with small numbers that add up to what I need. I just want to be sure I'm doing it right.

I am thinking that I cannot use the #19 that I read since I only have a 9 needed, and there is no 10 or 1.

Do you have any numbers higher than 10 on your list? Could you read a book with a series # enough to add to 10 for that?

My numbers still needed are 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. A series #19 doesn't seem to work for this game.

Bea wrote: "My numbers still needed are 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. A series #19 doesn't seem to work for this game."

Can't you read a #5 and combine 19+5 = 24 (your first two numbers)? You read so many series that it seems to me like you could find a #5.

Oh...now I understand...I could read a #6 and get 19+6 = 25 and use it. (My actual unfilled numbers are 7, 9, 7, X, 6, X, 5, 2, 5, 2, X, X, 4, 9, 4, 8, X, 6, 4, 8, 8, 4, 5, X. X = already completed.)
