Q-Force: Forcing Made Effortless

Q-Force is Quantum’s built-in number forcing tool, turning your calculator into a powerful prediction device.

By default, Quantum launches Q-Force automatically when turned on. You can configure its behavior in the PeekSmith app’s Settings.

How It Works

When Q-Force is active, pressing the equals (=) key reveals a predefined force number instead of the actual result of the calculation.

This lets you perform classic forces with ease – modernized and seamlessly built into your electronic calculator.

Your force number can be anything: a birth year, today’s date, a phone number, or a lucky digit.

Setting a Force Number

Permanent Force Number

You can configure a default force number in Quantum’s Settings.

• If set to 0, no force is applied.
• If set to any other number, that value will be used each time Q-Force starts.

Temporary Force Number (On-the-Fly)

Need to set a force number in the moment?

1. Enter the number on the calculator.
2. Long-press the close parenthesis key ) to store it temporarily.

This number won’t be saved permanently but remains active as long as Q-Force is running.

Step-by-Step Force Number Tutorial

Basic Force Tutorial:

1. Turn on Quantum - Press ON/AC button
2. Set your force number - For example, enter 1234 on the calculator
3. Store the force - Long-press the ) key for ~1 second until you see confirmation
4. Ask spectator to calculate - Have them enter any calculation (e.g., 50 + 50)
5. Press equals - When they press =, the display shows your force number 1234 instead of 100

Using Range Conditions:

Let’s say you want to force 8888 when adding four 4-digit numbers:

1. Open PeekSmith app → Settings → Your Quantum → Details
2. Set Force Number: 8888
3. Set Force Range Min: 4444 (minimum possible: 1111+1111+1111+1111)
4. Set Force Range Max: 39996 (maximum possible: 9999+9999+9999+9999)
5. Save settings

Now the force only activates when the real result falls within this range. This lets you demonstrate normal calculations first, then force when needed.

Quick On-the-Fly Example:

During a performance, someone mentions their birth year 1987:

1. Secretly enter 1987 on Quantum
2. Long-press ) to set as force
3. Hand calculator to spectator - “Do some random math for me”
4. They calculate anything (e.g., 123 + 456)
5. Result shows 1987 - “Interesting… that’s your birth year, isn’t it?”

Force Conditions (Range)

You can define a minimum and maximum result range.

Quantum will only apply the force if the real result falls within this range.

For example:

• Expected sum of four 4-digit numbers:

Minimum: 1111 + 1111 + 1111 + 1111 = 4444

• Maximum: 9999 + 9999 + 9999 + 9999 = 39,996

This helps mask the force – you can first demonstrate normal calculations before revealing the prediction.

Peeking the Forced Result

Enable PeekSmith Peek to send Quantum’s display to your PeekSmith or Bond device.

You’ll see the forced number exactly when your audience does – without looking at the calculator.

Toggle Force Mode with a Button

Turn on PeekSmith Toggle Force in the settings. You can now enable or disable the force using any button on your PeekSmith or Bond device.

Slide Sets Force

It allows you to set the force on the Quantum.

• UP: Force Mode Off
• 5/4 : Lets you to use PeekSmith Toggle Force Also you can use the opening brace “(” by press and holding to set a force number or turn on/off the Force Mode. The closing brace “)” by press and holding lets you to enter a new forced number.
• CUT : Force Mode On

If the Slide Sets Force is ON and you switch it to the UP/CUT you can’t turn the Force Mode On/Off with other devices.
