Introduction

One of the hardest and most desired games on Neopets. The game created by your creepy teacher to torment you during breaks. The game with greatest amount of cuddling babaas per minute! *-*

Yes, it's hard. But it's maths and is so cool! xD The best thing you can get out of here is a spiffy avatar:

To get this one you need to be on the first 50 on the High Scores table. So I recommend you to play on the last day of the month, leave the computer on, put your clock to 11:50 pm NST, send your score at 12:00 and go back to sleep. But you'll still need a nice amount of points to do it!


Your Screen


Your Tools

Here are the pads of the keyboard that you'll use:

The numbers (obvious) are easy to locate at the Num Lock position.
The num lock enter, because it's nearer to the numbers
The backspace to delete wrong answers.
You can also use the arrow keys to move around the questions, but personally I think that's confusing

And the calculator!
It's nearly impossible to get a nice score on this game without calculator. I suggest you a scientific calculator, because it has the options delete and use last answer that regular ones don't. The image below is from a complicated graphic-thingy calculator, but it has the essential buttons:


Solving Math Problems

Fortunately for you this game has just the 4 basic operations. You just need to memorize simple rules and some charts to solve them. It will help a lot if you know exponentials but it's still achievable if you don't.

In my country we have something unique called "The Chart of the Little Mouse", used to teach little children to count. I found that thing precious for this game!The first step is to memorize those charts (we sang them on school xD) Here are some of the maths charts from there (ok, the charts are not translated I just scanned them. But if a 6 year kid can understand them you shall understand a minimum too):

Addition


Subtraction


Multiplication


Division


Rules for the 1. 11 is a strange number. Multiply it is weird. The basic rule is:

  • 11*a = aa
  • 11*ab = aa+bb
"WHAZ??", you say For example:
  • 11*45
  • 4+5=9
  • So 11*45=495
The same applies to 11 multiples


Other Tips

My main tip, besides memorizing the charts and the rules, is to train a lot. Go get your old math books and do them all. Go make chemistry exercises, they're amazing to exercise your maths ability (because of 10 exponentials and so on).
To get the game faster and lighter put your mouse on the very upper left corner of the screen. When it turns into a pointing finger click and start solving without even looking for the babaas. Just look to the place where your problem appear. The fences will appear automatically a few seconds after you solve the problem (is the fence that tells you what babaa is ready to jump and what problem are you going to solve)

And so good luck! Please, if you have more tips or important math rules on this game please neomail me at ladyxzeus, so I can fix and complete. And don't be very harsh on me, because I stink at maths! xD (on my last exam I had 3. In 20 x.x)

UPDATE

If you are lazy just forget all that I said before. Chose the Division! There are only two available answers for it, discriminated on the table below.

The mutant babaas do not follow the pattern so, pick a friend and put them at your side solving the mutant problems with a calculator. Good luck!
