How to play

Your task is to place the four arithmetical symbols (add, subtract, multiply and divide) in the four circles in such a way that the total product of each line across and down is the same. By repeatedly clicking on each circle you will be given the choice of symbol.

The solution to the puzzle will be a positive whole number, but remember that the result of the first calculation in each line could be to produce a negative number and/or a fraction. For the purposes of this puzzle you should perform the first calculation in each line first and ignore the mathematical rule which says you should always perform multiplication and division before addition and subtraction.
