Maths Nightmare, 2500. Man that was tough. Still, 18/18

So apparently I've never once played this according to my high scores. This will be fun. >_>

I love this game, did it in one try

AAA has awarded you Sleeping Imiya Plushie.

My tip is to play Random at Potato Counter level. Don't forget when you finish the game doubles your score, so you only need to reach 1250 before you run out of time.
ETA AA's prize is Serene Nightscape Snowglobe

ARGH! 2240 in Maths Nightmare. My brain froze when it was 20 divided by 8
Edit: And I'm an idiot because I could have submitted that.
Edit 2: Finally got 2290 using "letimiyasleep" before I started round 6. Thanks for the tips gingernut - I didn't realise the score was doubled and would have been sitting here for hours trying to get 2500 in the actual score!

I can't help but wonder: Are calculators allowed in this game?
Nevertheless, learnt of the code and got a win against AAA. [Random + Potato Counter]
That's 18/18 AAA for me.

I hated the old MN because if I clicked on a problem and started typing my answer, it would randomly reselect the babaa, removing part of my answer so I'd have to type it twice -- it was so frustrating, and I could never get the timing right. If I waited for the game to pick the new babaa, I'd run out of time before I could get a high enough score for the avatar. When I tried this one, I followed the instructions and clicked on a bubble, but it wasn't registering any of my answers.
I kept trying on easy mode addition, and eventually figured out you have to click INSIDE the answer space, then hit ENTER after you type your answer -- neither of which is in the directions. I don't have a number pad, so this is going to be a pain in the rear... (Although I'll probably log in at school and do it there so I have a number pad). And now instead of it being a "use-your-brain" challenge, it's going to be a clicking accuracy one again... Way to go, TNT. I didn't think you could make MN more annoying. Boy was I wrong.
(By the way, in the old MN game, you had to clear the babaas before they reached the bottom, but here the bubbles grow from right to left, and the babaas are invading from the left -- so is it better to clear the bubbles in order, or to work on the side closest to the babaas, or does it make no difference?)

I think it's a new version of the game, as i know i played the old version of this game, but not this version. i dont like the clicking and mousing, and i think if i had a proper keyboard, and thus a numberpad rather than a laptop keyboard i would be easier. i had to move my hands around too much between every go.

Huh? For the new version, you don't need to press enter; all you need to do is input the correct one, and wait.
The only weird thing about the version is, that if you have pressed enter, and you've got your answer wrong, you would need to backspace everything until your 'last' answer is deleted.

Just got 2313 on DOM- so close!
I suppose it means I'm getting better at least.
Tue Mar 18, 2008 12:57 pm
Phew, without doubt the hardest challenge yet. Had to play for over an hour before I finally got it. I kept getting 2440-2480 points... then suddenly I got over 3500 without even noticing in-game

Cute plushie. More non-wearables, please!

{huggles} You bet it does! I got a couple in the 2200-2300 range before I actually got over 2400.

Me, neither. I hope my basic math skills aren't too rusty. I haven't had a real need to use them in a while. This could be interesting once I get home. I think I might've played the old version, though - maybe once.
Yet another game that wasn't on last year's list. I'm starting to wonder if the good old games like Turmac Roll, Dubloon Disaster, or Ice Cream Machine are going to show up or not.
But if they leave off Extreme Herder, Attack of the Gummy Dice, and Faerie Cloud Racers, I won't cry any.

If the leave out Ice Cream Machine, I will... I will... I will do something eliv. And be really angry. It's my favourite game of all time, and actually the only game I can earn WC pieces from with ease.
(Apparently you are really fond of the game too, judging from your Location

)

Very, very fond of it! When I do the WC, that's my game, too.

I'm thinking of starting back up after the DD is over. Although, if I have time, I might start back up sooner - I've still got random pieces sitting around from the last time I played.
I would love it if they do it, and give out a wearable for it. I could definitely do with a ICM background. That would be AWESOME. Ah well, we'll see.
Edit: More random prize speculation: Anyone think it's possible that there'll be a keyquest token to be won here? Maybe as a secondary/additional prize for having made it through half of the challenges or something? I know I mentioned in the plot thread that they'd said we could win them through participating in site events, which this is. {shrugs} Just a thought.

So
that's why I always have issues with this game....lol Always lose early because of typos and it not accepting my answer.

You can also highlight and re-enter the correct answer.
I found Potato Counter and Division was the easiest to use because most divison answers were one number, so it was much faster to get the answer in - also they are
very easy sums.
