Time Limit
There is a time limit for answers to be entered. (About one minute for each question).
The clock resets after each incorrect attempt. If the time elapses before an answer is entered,
then no more attempts to answer that question are allowed, and the game proceeds to the next
question.

While the Help screen is open, the game's clock stops. Click on the exit icon, or press [ Esc ]
to exit Help and resume the game.
Hints
In some activities, you can ask the learning PC for a hint. Select [ Hint ] from
the Help screen or press [ Function ] + [ T ]. Remember that there is a maximum of two hints
per question, and a point is deducted for each hint used. Activities with the hint function are:
Jail Break (1&2 player), Word Shuffle, and Anagram Slam.
