2. Seek and count (8)
There are 6 mathematic expressions with the same results. Each cell contains exactly one symbol (digit, operation sign and so on). Rectangles of one color hide the same fragments of expressions. Operation signs can not be in the neighbouring cells. Restore these expressions.
Example:
Answer key: firstly write down the result of these expressions and then the fragments hidden behind the pink, green, blue and yellow rectangles in this order. For example the answer would be: 10: 1., 4, 0-.
