How to play

Choose one of four answers. The answer locks when selected. Read the method, then choose Next question.

Round to numbers that make the operation easier. A benchmark helps locate the answer; it does not make an approximate value exact.

Only one option is closest to the original value. Review shows the rounded calculation and the exact value. A square root can stay in radical form so it is not rounded misleadingly.

Finish all eight questions to save a result in this browser. An unfinished round is not saved. Active time includes answers and review, but not background tabs. There is no time limit or speed bonus.

Use Tab and Enter or Space to choose an answer. Keys 1–4 also select answers, except when another control is focused.
