Math Mind Challenge - How It Works

• There are 12 levels in the Math Mind Challenge.
• Each set of mental calculations contains 10 questions.
• If all 10 questions are answered correctly, the user can advance to the next level (if not already at level 12).
• If only 9 questions are answered correctly, the user stays at the current level.
• If less than 9 questions are answered correctly, the user goes down one level (if not already at level 1).
• If the application is closed, the current question number and level will be stored until the application is restarted.
