In addition to a leader board, it needs to: - Have a time limit and see who can get the most calculations done on that fixed time - or, have a fixed number of calculations and see how fast people can answer them - or, it could get faster as you progress
The calculation of the "you are better than X%" needs to be fixed because everybody in my office was better than 100%
I've played with many of these. And this one is pretty good. One thing that I'd like to see is a "verbal" option in these types of apps. I have trouble "hearing" math and keeping it in my head. I envision an app speaking the problem, then you have to type in the answer. It requires both math and keeping the problem in your head. Lastly, a verbal or speaking option maps to many real world scenarios.
If you don't care about the setting: 1. Click "Play game" 2. Press 2, Enter, Star once it loads.
Make 24. Enter the two intermediate results. Numpad plus repeats the question.
I don't know if this is a good place to start if you have trouble hearing but might be fun for practice anyway.
When I was near the end, I pressed backspace to clear my answer, and it wound up navigating me back to HN, wiping out my results. (I hate backspace-to-go-back. It's the worst feature in a browser. Is there a way to turn it off?) This mental math exercise is a cool and fun concept! Good execution.
i know the guy who made this game for iOS

I crazy love how it auto submits your answers for you, super convenient! My dad made me do similar online mental math exercises when I was younger and I always hated how clicking "next" reduced my time. Does it take into account what your settings were when it reports your score relative to others?
Doesn't pressing Enter generally work? I'm usually surprised by how many people click a button to submit a form.

They should remove that. It'll get them smacked by the google spam team eventually.

// TODO we should add a real ranking one day

return Math.floor(100 * Math.min(Math.E * score / (ONE_BARELY_REACHES_THIS_SCORE * Math.PI), 1));
