How to play
- Start the match and solve the displayed math problem.
- Submit correct answers to pull the marker toward your side.
- Reach your end of the rope before the bot reaches its end.
Match rules and scoring
- The rope starts at the midpoint, with both sides equally balanced.
- A correct answer moves the marker 12% toward your side and adds one point.
- A wrong answer moves it 8% toward the bot and reveals the correct result.
- The bot pulls 5% every 2.5 seconds while a match is active.
- The round ends when the marker reaches either end of the rope.
Arithmetic covered
Each round generates addition, subtraction, and multiplication questions using whole numbers from 2 through 13. Subtraction questions keep the larger number first, so answers are never negative. The changing questions train quick recall without requiring a separate worksheet or timer.
Accuracy matters, but speed changes the match: waiting gives the bot more time to pull. Try to improve your score across repeated rounds while keeping mental calculations correct.
