This building has two games for you to play, the Quick-Fire Math Game and the Packing Game.
To start the Quick-Fire Math Game click on the large box on the right of the screen or on the button
on the left marked "Quick-Fire Math Game". The game starts when you choose a level. In this game
you have a time limit in which to answer the math question. Use the keyboard to type in the number.
As the time counts down the points you will receive for getting the question correct also count down.
You cannot answer the question after the time runs out. There are 10 questions in each game. There
is no Help in the Quick Fire Math game. Higher levels give more points but the questions are harder
and you have less time to answer them.
The Packing Game is a logic game. You are shown a 3D cube that you can rotate using the arrows next to it. Take a good look at it from
every direction and then see of you can work out which of the flattened cubes on the right would make the 3D cube if they were folded up.
There is only one correct answer so be careful. If you click on Help the computer will take away one or more of the incorrect answers to make
your decision easier but you will score fewer points. There are 10 questions in each game.
The Garage
You should visit the Garage if you want to buy a new car, change the color of your current car or if
you want to get your car repaired. There are two buttons on the main screen, one takes you to the Car
Dealer and the other takes you to the Repair Shop. If have so many crashes that your car is totally
damaged then you will be automatically taken to the repair shop.
At the Repair Shop the mechanic will take a look at your car and give you a bill based on the damage.
You are normally given two options, "Pay Bill" or "Exit Repair Shop". If your car is on maximum
damage then you will not have the option to leave the repair shop. If you click on Pay Bill but do not
have enough money then the car is only partially repaired. If you car is totally damaged and you have
no money, don't worry! You can still click on Pay Bill, the mechanic will probably be able to arrange
some kind of deal with you. If you click on the Exit Repair Shop button you will go back to the main
screen but no repairs will have been carried out on your car.
At the Car Dealer's you can choose a new car. You must earn lots of points and have the correct number of souvenirs to buy a new car but
