If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Flipping hang that's difficult. Took several attempts on level 10 before I finished it. Got flummoxed when it started throwing in equations and Prime numbers!

Yeah, the algebra stumped me as I wasn't expecting it, and thought it was a typo in the question!

I tried once and gave up then had a few minutes and started again. I managed it that time but I had to redo a couple of levels. I'm happy with that.  :D

Run ? ..A race....Me ??
I was thinking of entering one of the Triathlons next year.....Jog Stagger 50 yards......Cycle Freewheel downhill for 100 yards and then swim wallow in a bath for half an hour.
I reckon I might do quite well. :D

Were these the ancient Olympics so you had excuse to be naked whilst competing?

Wow, am I stupid. It took me ages to finish it, for two reasons working in opposite directions. The first, it took me about six mistakes to work out that x sometimes was x and sometimes was multiply! Second, I lost about eight times when the damn thing responded slightly slowly to my click, so I clicked again and found it was on the wrong answer for the next question.    :D

I can't even read the bloody question before it's over!

I'm one of those who messes up numbers though  :-[

Nevertheless i make it to the end,had to do some  a few times though ;)

That was hard, really struggled with the time ones. Level 6 was particularly tricky for some reason.

My mental maths has got worse and worse over the years. At school between maths lessons and D&D games my mental maths was really good. Now even though doing lots of maths at work, I use a computer for nearly everything
