Today’s challenge is all about calculations.

Using the digits; 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and any of the 4 operations above, how many consecutive numbers can you make?

Here are examples for 1, 2 and 3:

1 = 2 -1

2 = 3 – 1

3 = 2 + 1

Can you you make 4, 5, 6, 7, 8….. and so on. How far can you get?

Rules:

In each calculation, you can only use each digit once although you can use as many different operations as you like.
