Order Of Operations Game - New Version

In my previous post I was talking about Order Of Operations (PEMDAS), and I mentioned the "One To Ten" game, which is currently the featured game on The Problem Site.
As I was looking at the game, however, I realized that this was one of my very first games created for the site, and it had some serious shortcomings.
The primary one is that it gives you no feedback about how you're doing. You enter 10 expressions, and when you're done you click submit...
...and the computer tells you which ones you have wrong, and never gives you the opportunity to fix your mistakes.
I decided to reprogram this as a Flash game. The new format lets you get more immediate feedback. You can enter an expression, click "Calculate", and if your expression evaluates to a number between 1 and 10 inclusive, that number lights up. This way you get immediate feedback, you get to fix your mistakes, and you can also see your progress through the game.
Want to try the new version? It's still being tested, so if you find any bugs, please send me feedback (dtwitchell@virtu-software.com). Actually, now that I think about it, I'd love to have feedback even if you DON'T find any bugs!
Anyway, here's the new version of the game: One To Ten - Flash VersionLabels: one to ten, theproblemsite
