Cognitive thinking game to evaluate memory and processing skills
Traditional problems including addition, subtraction, and multiplication
There are two types of bubbles: small and large. Small bubbles can have values like -5, 14, 5-2, 8+3, 9x1, 4x5, etc. Large bubble can have values like x2, x3, etc. A large bubble is used as a multiplier, any small bubbles contained within it must be summed first and then the multiplier or the large bubble must be performed on that sum. You can think of a large bubble as an array
Example Bubble:
[5x2, 7, 4]
Answer:
(5x2)+7+4
21
Example Bubble:
[[2, [3, 7]], 5]
Answer:
2(3+7)+5
20+5
25
Example Bubble:
[[3, [2, 4x2]], [2, [4, -4]], 3x1]
Answer:
3(8+2)+2(4-4)+3
30+3
33
Players will be tasked to remember either numeric or alphanumeric sequences which will be briefly flashed on the screen
Examples:
"3029"
"abrj"
"302402"
"skr00ea"
Players will be shown a series of words and tasked to rememember previous words shown between 2-4 times back from the current displayed word.
Example:
Ryan
Nathan
John (What was the name 2 spots back? Answer: Ryan)
Brendan (What was the name 2 spots back? Answer: Nathan)
Luke (What was the name 2 spots back? Answer: John)
Daniel (What was the name 3 spots back? Answer: John)
Adam (What was the name 2 spots back? Answer: Luke)
Ethan (What was the name 1 spots back? Answer: Adam)
Lucas (What was the name 3 spots back? Answer: Daniel)
Brent (What was the name 1 spots back? Answer: Lucas)
Nate (What was the name 4 spots back? Answer: Adam)
General Math: 3 Seconds per Problem
Bubble Math: 5 Seconds per Problem
Memory Recall (both types): 3 Seconds per Problem
A problem's point value is based on it's complexity.
Points will be awarded using this formula: (remaining time + 1) * (x) # x is 5 for easy problems, 10 for medium problems, and 15 for hard problems
