  26. About...
  27.  
  28.     The mathematical reflex test was developed entirely by myself on a 
  29.    standard Amiga 500. It was written in Aztec C v5.0a. Previous to this
  30.    version there have been two commercial releases and two shareware
  31.    releases. (Jumpdisk, Megadisc, Fish).
  32.  
  33.     This is the final version. For those of you who remember my two 
  34.    previous Reflex Tests I have deleted one category and added two more. I
  35.    have deleted the category of fractions and added the category of mixed
  36.    and percentages. I was going to incorporate a couple more categories
  37.    (dollars and decimals) but the game was becoming too hard so I left them
  38.    out.
  39.

  41. Instructions...
  42.  
  43.     Playing the game is very simple. In fact, when you load this game up
  44.    for the first time and play with it for a few minutes you shouldn't
  45.    really need to consult this doc file unless something is unclear. Here
  46.    is a quick overview,
  47.  
  48.     Once you have selected a category from the main menu you will be 
  49.    presented with a certain amount of blank rectangles. In each rectangle
  50.    a question will pop up, one at a time. You must answer these questions
  51.    as fast as possible. Once you have answered all the questions you will
  52.    receive a final percentage mark based upon your time and the number of
  53.    questions you answered correctly. You will also receive your position
  54.    in relation to your current high score list.
  55.  
  56.     There are seven categories for you to choose from. The categories of
  57.    algebra and division require a one digit answer while the remaining
  58.    categories require a two digit answer. When entering a two digit answer
  59.    you can erase the first digit either by pressing backspace or the
  60.    asterisk key on the numeric keypad. Once an answer has been entered the
  61.    next question will pop up and your last answer is irrevocable.
  62.  
  63.  
  64. Submitting your high scores...    
  65.  
  66.     If you do decide to submit your high scores you must submit the 
  67.    following,
  68.  
  69.              - your final percentage mark
  70.              - your time
  71.              - number of correct responses
  72.              - which category
  73.  
  74.     It might be a good idea to print out the following high score sheet,
