18! phew!
cool! I'd like that it be clear that you don't need to type "3." at the beginning. Took me a while to figure that. out.
:) nice

EDIT: 22!
damn that's crazy! Image

Can't get passed 14. I guess my aspie traits work only on alpha-numeric after all (numbers don't make up that special melody in my head, while a mix of numbers and letters most times do...)

But i'm gonna test that game on an NT friend of mine. Having studied maths he SHOULD get the first 15 numbers right on the first attempt :wink:

I like that game. I've gotten only to 30 so far.

Edit: I meant to ask what formula is used to calculate pi in this program?

50!!

There's a glitch in your game at number 31. I encountered the glitch twice. The glitch I encountered the first time was when I went by 3.1415926535897932384626433832795_28841...

Where the space is, that number changed on the first time to '1'; on the second time it switched places with the '2' in front of it. Not sure why. If it happens again I'll give you a screen shot just to show you.

Edit: If you go too fast in the game the numbers get mixed up. The glitch causes two neighboring numbers to switch places.


81!!

Thanks for the bug report! I've fixed it and uploaded a new version. If it doesn't say "V 0.2" on the title screen, you need to clear out the cached version of the game from your browser's cache store.
