P3rs1st Askmaster

Sharpen your ciphering skills in this nifty game of numbers. The object of P3RS1ST ("persist") is to reduce the starting number down to the target single-digit number by filling in the missing digits of the interim numbers, formed using all the digits of the current number in only 1 of 3 allowable ways: the sum of the digits (add them all together), the product of the digits (multiply them all together), or the same digits with a single digit appended (append a digit 0-9). Despite the simplicity of the rules, P3RS1ST puzzles can be quite challenging! -- Amazon Alexa Version: Play a head-to-head version of P3RS1ST on the Amazon Alexa skills platform, just say "Alexa, open Persist number game".
