Mobile instructions: Press on an answer on the right. Then, press on the question it matches on the left.

(a) Drag-and-drop from the right to the left, or (b) click on a right side answer, and then click on its destination box to move it.

All answers to these ten operations are integers. Remember that BODMAS (brackets, orders, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction) or PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction) rules apply.

What's the Correct Order?	Choices
1. (Smallest)	2 + 0 - 2 � 6
2. (Negative)	2 � 0 � 2 � 6
3. (Nil)	2 - 0 - 2 - 6
4. (Perfect)	2 � 0 + 2 � 6
5. (Decimal)	2 + 0 + 2 + 6
6. (Dodecagon)	(2 + 0 + 2 + 6)!

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 2 + 0 - 2 � 6

2 + 0 - 2 � 6 = -10

The number 2026 is even because it is divisible by 2, i.e., 2026 � 2 = 1013.

2. 2 - 0 - 2 - 6

2 - 0 - 2 - 6 = -6

The prime factorization of 2026 is 2 � 1013, which makes it a composite number. Even though it is quite a large number, it has only four divisors: 1, 2, 1013, and 2026.

3. 2 � 0 � 2 � 6

2 � 0 � 2 � 6 = 0

By the multiplicative property of zero (also known as the zero-product property), any number multiplied with zero always yields zero.

4. (2 + 0) � (2 � 6)

(2 + 0) � (2 � 6) = 2 � (1 / 3) = 2 �3 = 6

The number 6 is the first perfect number.

In number theory, a happy number refers to a number that ultimately reaches one when you repeatedly replace the answer obtained with the sum of the squares of its resulting digits.

Let's check if 2026 is a happy number.

2^2 + 0^2 + 2^2 + 6^2 = 4 + 4 + 36 = 44
4^2 + 4^2 = 16 + 16 = 32
3^2 + 2^2 = 9 + 4 = 13
1^2 + 3^2 = 1 + 9 = 10
1^2 + 0^2 = 1

Other years in the 21st century that are also happy include: 2003, 2008, 2019, 2026, 2030, 2036, 2039, 2062, 2063, 2080, 2091, and 2093.

5. 2 + 0 + 2 + 6

2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10

A number is called deficient if the sum of its proper divisors (all divisors excluding the number itself) is less than the number itself.

The divisors of 2026 are 1, 2, 1013, and 2026.

The sum of its proper divisors is 1 + 2 + 1013 = 1016, which is less than 2026. Hence, 2026 is a deficient number.

6. 2 � 0 + 2 � 6

2 � 0 + 2 � 6 = 12

A dodecagon is a polygon with 12 sides. Notice that, despite its small size, the number 12 has a total of six divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.

7. (2 + 0) * (2 + 6)

(2 + 0) * (2 + 6) = 16

Note that the number 16 can be expressed elegantly as both 4^2 (a perfect square) and 2^4 (a power of two).

8. (2 + 0) * (2 � 6)

(2 + 0) * (2 � 6) = 24

Any number that can be expressed in the form of n!, where n is a positive integer, is called a factorial number.

Observe that 24 = 4 � 3 � 2 � 1 = 4!.

9. (2 + 0 + 2) ^ 6

(2 + 0 + 2) ^ 6 = 4^6 = 4,096

Observe that 4096 = (2^2)^6 = 2^12 = (2^4)^3 = (2^6)^2, making 4096 both a perfect square and a perfect cube.

10. (2 + 0 + 2 + 6)!

(2 + 0 + 2 + 6)! = 10! = 3,628,800

Interestingly, there are 10! = 3,628,800 seconds in six weeks.

1 week = 7 days
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore, 6 � 7 � 24 � 60 � 60 = 3,628,800 = 10!
