Imiya the aisha needs all the sleep she can get, because tomorrow is the BIG maths test at Neoschool!
She finally gets to sleep by counting babaas, but they start to haunt her dreams and make her do math problems!
 Please help get rid of the Babaas so Imiya can be well rested for the test tomorrow!
The object of this game is to correctly answer the math questions underneath the Babaas so that they don't wake Imiya up!



There are five levels in this game, each asking their own type of question:
  1. Addition + (Bonus x1)
  2. Subtraction - (Bonus x2)
  3. Multiplication x (Bonus x3)
  4. Division * (Bonus x4)
  5. Random ? (Bonus x5)
In the random level, it will ask you any question from the first four levels.

Gameplay
When starting a level, a row of babaas will  float down towards the bottom of the screen. There will be three Babaas per row, each with a math question underneath. To answer the question, click on the Babaa who's answer you have and make sure that a white picket fence appears in front of the Babaa. Then, type in the answer on your keypad; the box of numbers to the right of your keyboard, and hit enter. To activate these numbers, make sure that you have num lock depressed.

When a question is answered correctly, a string of thought  will fly out of Imiya's head and hit the Babaa, causing it to jump over the fence in front of it. After it jumps a tiny bell sounds, indicating that the babaa is gone and points have been awarded. If a question is answered incorrectly the Babaa will not jump over the fence. There is no penalty for incorrect answers.

Watch out for the mutant babaas. They have extra-hard questions to try and trick the unaware.


Occasionally some Neopets will pop up on the bottom right of the game screen and tell you you're doing a good job. Ignore them, they're there to distract you and let the Babaas come and wake Imiya up!

Tricks
The easiest way to get an avatar and / or trophy is in the division level.  In the division level there are only two answers possible for every question, with the exception of questions supplied by mutant Babaas.

Level Answers
1 2, 3
2 3, 5
3 4, 7
4 5, 9
5 6, 11

Use this pattern  to find the numbers for every level:

To find the first number take the level / round number and add one.
To find the second number multiply the number of the level times two and add one.

To find the answers for the mutant Babaas, a calculator would come in handy, be it on the computer or off.


To get this avatar you need to be on the high score table for this game when trophies are awarded at the end of the day, at midnight NST.
