Hello NRICH team,

This is Meera Sriram from Chennai, India.

I worked on Less is More (https://nrich.maths.org/problems/less-more) NRICH primary live problem as part of the STEPS IN MATH program conducted by The GYM Foundation. (https://thegymfoundation.com/stepsinmath)

Please find my scanned copy of handwritten solution below for the Less is More problem. It was a very interesting game to find the highest score and to find my own strategy to form numbers that get highest score. I also understood why my strategy will not work for some set of numbers.
