What was the question? Could have been which answer is closest to the correct answer. - Jim Bednarz

I'm a public school teacher, and from what I've seen, this is par for the course, even from major publishers. For an example of a really good math game, check out Timez Attack http://www.bigbrainz.com/Downloa... - Joel Zehring

It forces you to think. - heretic_twit
