The JAR and JAD are the Original Java ME Version for phones and emulators. How to install.
About
The number pad was made for this. Sums, differences, products and divisions appear one after another and you type the answer directly; there is no confirm key, because the answer is checked the moment you have typed enough digits. Sprint mode gives you 60 seconds, with every correct answer adding a second. Survival puts a shrinking timer on each question and gives you three lives. Streaks raise the difficulty and mistakes ease it back down.
Objective: Solve as many problems as possible before time or lives run out.
Modes: Sprint, Survival
