“We Martians come and

conquer. We Martians
interested and studied
Mearth in years. MEarth
must answer We Martians’
questions or Mearth be
conquered. ”
These were the alarming messages
from the signals that the aliens
transmitted to a satellite on Mearth.
The signals were so advanced that
only math language can interpret
“You are chosen, Young Heroes,
to save Mearth and Mearthkind
from the destructive plan of the
Martians. Your heroic task is to
answer correctly their questions
on mathematics and earn points
to reach the highest score.”
