Key points
- I made this for kids around 10 to 14.
- The user needs to enter an explanation if she finds an error to gain more XP; speed matters also for more points.
- The arithmetic check is there for that, but it only works on English cases so far.
- What I'd really like to know: does finding someone else's mistake teach anything that solving the problem yourself doesn't?
