Twenty problems climb from the times tables to two-digit multiplication and cubes, fifteen seconds each, and one wrong answer ends the run.Today's board1 2 3 Play 2GapMissing-number mental mathTwenty equations, one gap eachEvery line is an equation with one number taken out, like 7 × ? = 56. Twenty climb from one-step sums to two-step lines, percentages, squares and roots, twenty seconds each, and one wrong answer ends the run.Today's board1 2 3 Play 3SeriesNumber seriesTwenty series, what comes nextEvery line is a run of numbers, like 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, ?. Find the rule and pick the next one. Twenty climb from steady steps to growing gaps, woven pairs, squares and cubes, twenty seconds each, and one wrong answer ends the run.Today's board1 2 3 Play 4BackReverse mental mathWhich line makes itEach problem gives a number, like ? = 56, and four lines of arithmetic of the same shape; exactly one makes it. Twenty climb from the times tables to brackets, squares and two-digit products, twenty seconds each, and one wrong answer ends the run.Today's board1 2 3 Play 5BlitzedThree-number mental mathTwenty problems, three numbers eachEvery line has three numbers and two operations, like 5 + 10 × 2, never 47 × 6. Twenty problems climb from small chains to brackets, percentages with a tail, two-digit products and cubes, twenty seconds each, and one wrong answer ends the run.

Shortest first, longest last. The board is the plain count of questions you get right across all 5, and the shorter clock takes a tie. A game played on its own still counts toward it, but you need all 5 in the same day to take a rank on the circuit board.
