  4. The dealer says “Salute!” and each player holds a card from the top of his pile to his forehead with the number facing out.
  5. Addition– the Dealer calls out the sum of the two numbers.  For example 3 + 6 is 9.
  6. Multiplication – the Dealer calls out the product of the two numbers.  For example 3 x 6 is 18.
