Power-ups
Your Lifelines
F
❄️ Freeze — Pause the Timer
Adds 5 frozen seconds to the clock. Snowflake animation covers
the screen while the timer holds. Use on calculation-heavy
questions.
H
½ 50-50 — Eliminate Two Wrong Answers
Removes 2 of the 3 wrong options instantly. Converts a 25%
guess into a 50% chance. Best used when you've narrowed it
down but aren't sure.
S
↷ Skip — Move On Without Penalty
Skips the current question without losing a heart or combo.
The question is still logged as skipped in the review screen.
Your emergency exit.
Question Bank
600+ Handcrafted Questions
Every question is hand-written — no AI-generated filler. Each one comes with a step-by-step SVG explanation diagram so you understand why, not just what.

How Your Score is Computed
Accuracy

Speed

Combo
×
Tier
Accuracy
Base points per correct answer. Wrong answers lose partial
credit.
Speed Bonus
Answer faster than the midpoint of the timer to earn extra
speed points.
Combo Multiplier
3 correct in a row = ×2 · 6 in a row = ×3 · keeps stacking
higher.
Tier Multiplier
T1 = 1× · T2 = 1.5× · T3 = 2× — harder tiers are worth much
more.
Getting Started
Beginner's Playbook
01
Start on Easy, always
Even if you're experienced, Easy mode calibrates your baseline
and warms up your mental arithmetic — don't skip it.
02
Read the SVG explanation
Every wrong answer shows a visual step-by-step breakdown.
Don't just retry — understand the diagram first.
03
Save power-ups for T3
Tier 3 questions are substantially harder. Hoard your Freeze
and 50-50 tokens for the late-game crunch.
04
Protect your streak above all
A ×3 combo running through T3 is worth more than three
separate correct answers. Skip rather than guess wrong.
05
Check the category heatmap
The results screen shows which topic categories you're weakest
in. Focus your next session there specifically.
06
Use Infinite to stress-test
Infinite mode's ever-escalating difficulty is the best way to
find your real ceiling — play it after every 5 standard
sessions.
