FWIW, I think you should advise the algorithm you're using to generate the "wrong answer." It appears you're calculating `(a ± rand) x b` as the wrong answer, but that often means the units digit will be wrong, which is an easy tell. That is, 11x999 is going have have a "9" in the unit's digit, regardless of the rest of the digits. I think it would be more challenging to run a mix of `a x b ± rand x 10` as "wrong answers," to make the game more challenging (... since it's not already hard enough).
- lotsofmangos 13y agoI found that the usvsth3m gave "you can't do binary under pressure" has a similar issue. http://games.usvsth3m.com/binary/ http://games.usvsth3m.com/binary/

- tikwidd 13y agoI agree, next step is a more intelligent algorithm. Also plan to add options for selecting times tables and changing distance between pipes so it's friendlier for kids to play. Thanks for checking it out!
