My best so far (EDIT: changed it to a new one).

Also, most addictive OHR game ever.

Hey, that's a pretty good score.

The game was inspired by Gilbert and Seizure Inducer.

(edit: no fair making my post lose its context, jerk)

The only thing making it a truly terrible game, and the only thing keeping me from loving it, is that bloody counter-intuitive control scheme. A B C D may sound good on paper, but the buttons are way too spread out.
Might I suggest 1 2 3 4? Please?

Same problem as Uncy, but DAMN this is the best terrible game ever.

Noted. I'm not changing it (that's 200 textboxes times 4 answer choices per textbox), but I'll add the 1234 functionality as a side option.

The file is newly uploaded; that's the only change. If you want number-button compatability, you can re-download.

Personal high score: ~8300. If you can beat that, I'll be amazed.

Haven't gotten a chance to play yet, but even just downloading it, I think this is going to be something stupendous.

Two errors I've seen:

It says that 25^2 = 125. This is incorrect. 25^2 is 625. As 625 is one of the listed answers, it seems likely that you just made a typo in the code when assiging the answer.
It says that Hydrogen Dioxide is water. Actually, Dihydrogen monoxide is water (H2O = 2 H's and 1 O).

D'oh. My only excuse is that I wrote most of the questions and their answers after midnight. Heheh.

Oh, and looks like you've been playing WAY too much, but congrats on the score. (My high score's still higher, nyaaah.)

I am a damned primate. 50%
I say this game favours non-swedish people! No, no, no...

Curse you and your science.
