This was fun, I forget sometimes how silly all our grade school math worksheets used to be. I always had trouble showing my work for simple additions and multiplication, it's a bit easier when its a self motivated dunking on the GPUs.

It feels like a missed opportunity to not show each pixel's worksheet: It would be cool if you could click on each pixel, and it opens a PDF scan of that persons calculations.

The author should implement an error correction system, where 1) the result is withheld from the display until a second corroborating calculation comes in, and 2) if there is disagreement, request an arbitration from a third user whose job is to pick which of the two is the best answer.
