1) What is 'Found How?'
-----------------------
'Found How?' is a math based game. The aim is to calculate the nearest number to 
the target number with given six tools. 

2) How to install/uninstall?
----------------------------
First, extract zip archive to any temporary directory. Then run SETUP.EXE file. 
Follow the instructions on the screen. This will install the 'Found How?' in your
system. 
You can also have uninstallation option after installation. For uninstallation 
select Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel folder. Select 'Found How?' and
click Remove button.

3) How to play?
---------------
To start the Found How? simply click its icon on the folder you have installed.
When you started, the random 'target number' will be given in the big rectangle 
on the right top of screen. There are also six other numbers which called 'tools'. 
The first four tools are between 1 - 9 and last two tools are 25, 50 or 75. 
The operators are plus (+), minus (-), multiply (x) and divide (/). 
The tools can be used for one time. But when you used two tools with an operator, 
you will get another tool. If you decide to store the new tool you should push 
'store' button  or if you want to delete last calculation you should push 'undo' 
button . If you store the new tool you can use it another calculation. If you can 
not approach the target and want to start again, you should push 'clear' button  
or if you feel that you approached enough to target or found exact number you 
should push 'found' button. 
You have 90/60/45 (easy/medium/hard) seconds for finding the target. If you push
'found' button or the time finishes the computer will calculate your score. 
There are three kind of score. 
*  The first is 'main score'. If you find the target number by using tools your 
   main score will be '100'. If you approach the target near one value you will 
   get '90' points and so on. 
   For example: 
    Target = 397 
    Your result : 397 --- Score : 100 
    Your result : 396 or 398 --- Score : 90 
    Your result : 395 or 399 --- Score : 80 
*  The second score is 'time score'. The earlier finishing will get bigger 
   points.
   Time score = remaining time * Level
   For example : 
     if you find the target in last 25 seconds
     Time Score = 25*1 = 25 point for Easy Level
     Time Score = 25*2 = 50 point for Medium Level	
     Time Score = 25*3 = 75 point for Hard Level
     
*  The third score is 'faulty score'. When you push 'undo' button, you will lose 
     2 points for Easy Level
     4 points for Medium Level
     6 points for Hard Level
   or when you push 'clear' button you will lose 
     5 points for Easy Level
    10 points for Medium Level
    15 points for Hard Level.
Your total score is the sum of aboves. If your total score is bigger then zero 
for each game you will get another chance to play and rise your scores. 

You have also some options to customize the game. To select the options please 
click the third button at the left bottom button groups.
In options menu you have
* Play / practice mode switching
* Music on / off switching
* Easy / Medium / Hard level switching options.
When you select the best configuration for you it will be saved and you will
play same configurations until you change.

There is also a run-time level changing subject. You will be upgraded to the 
upper level for every collected 1000 points. 

I know that the explanation is not very clear. You may feel confused. But try 
the game, you will understand easily. ;-)
