For CHALLENGE

The object of CHALLENGE is to eliminate numbers before the numbers

eliminate you!

1. Press CHALLENGE.

2. Numbers will appear on the screen from left to right, one after another.

You must eliminate numbers that add up to 10.

3. On the number pad, press the numbers adding to 10 as they appear on

the screen. For example, if digits appear in this order:

2 7 8

you should press the 2 and 8 to eliminate those addends from the

screen. If digits appear in this order:

3 4 5 2

you can press 3 5 2 to equal 10.

➤ You can press up to three numbers to equal 10.

➤ If you press an incorrect number combination—you lose!

➤ As soon as you let 8 digits display across the screen, the

CHALLENGE is over—you lose!

4. Numbers continue to appear, so you must continue to eliminate!

Remember, your goal is to stay in the game!

➤ Anytime you see this press ENTER to cancel it from the screen.

This gives you a “free” elimination. Then you’ll have to start your

addends over again.

5. Each time you eliminate addends of 10, you score 10 points. At 1,000

points CHALLENGE pauses. Then you advance to the next level, which

goes

faster!

6. There are 5 levels. At each level the speed increases. You’ll have to

work faster! Once you reach level 5 there is NO SCORE LIMIT! You can

play forever unless you let 8 numbers appear on the screen (or wear

down the batteries)! See how long you can keep the CHALLENGE

going!

To conserve batteries, Math Whiz is set to turn off after 300 seconds, or five minutes, of nonuse

in any mode. Press the ON button to resume play. When the game is over, the elapsed time at

the end of a game will say 300 SECS, the maximum time. To begin a new game, press Math

Whiz off and on again.
