A timed calculus game where players type their answers, climb escalating difficulty, and compare themselves on public leaderboards.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

Field notes

The game separates short competition from endurance practice: Sprint imposes a five-minute clock and three-strike limit, while Diverge keeps increasing difficulty every three problems. Its public progression system includes XP, solved counts, badges, streaks, and titles, with the highest displayed title requiring a stated difficulty-19 run. A daily problem gives everyone the same prompt, currently an implicit-differentiation exercise built from 9x² + 7xy = 11.
