Learn the math: Composing Numbers with 1 and 2

You can compose a target number by adding smaller amounts. Keep track of the starting amount and how much each pour adds.

A worked example

Start with 2 and reach 5 by adding 2, then 1: 2 + 2 + 1 = 5. Adding another 2 would go past the target.

Keep in mind while you play

Work out how much is still needed after every pour.
