Try your hand at each of these three futuristic machines - the Superpipo-numbocruncher, the Gastrodeci-fractogerator, and the Cosmoeco-simutrader.

With the Superpipo-numbocruncher you build a machine that correctly forms the mathematical expressions indicated at the top of the screen. Start out by pressing the "Go" button on the right to see what numbers the expression generates. Then manipulate the various machine parts to create the correct series of numbers. Click on "Go" again to see if you are right.

Hop on board the Cosmoeco-simutrader and travel to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. You choose the spaceship, decide which galaxies to visit, hire and fire a crew, buy and sell futuristic machine parts, and maintain a bank account. This area involves work with money, time, distance, and strategy.

Buy and sell your wares at the space market. The goal is to buy the products as cheaply as possibly in one galaxy, then travel to a new region to sell them at a higher price. But think carefully - you must consider time, distance, and the cost of fuel before you make your journey.

Spin the wheel at the right to choose a food. Once you match that food with its partner on the food tray (e.g. jam with bread, and ice cream with a cone), a number problem on fractions or decimals will appear. If you correctly solve the problem, the food you selected will light up to clear your path on the tray. You must answer the questions quickly though, before the hungry creature on the left blocks your path by slamming a lid down over the food.
