How about this then. Take the digits from the car odometer in order and only using +, -, *, /, ( and ) make an equation that equals. Eg: 56872: 5 * 6 / (8 + 7) = 2 Some are easy (especially when there are two zeros in the number) but others are harder. To add interest to the game you have to work it out before the odometer changes (the American Govt has helped some of you out by sticking with miles (they are longer than km) :-) .
