Well, I may never be manly enough for you Brad. But I must also let you know, I'm straight, so it doesn't matter anyway.
This my 100th post. I'd like to thank BradP for always pushing me to improve myself. And Kurt for telling me my triangle formulas when I forgot them from the old days of Precal and was too lazy to look them up. Special thanks also to Stephen for making me do an AMC problem and take my mind off the unfair arithmetic game. Oh and thanks to Mr. Potter and the guys whose names are green for keeping up this forum for me to rant on.
100 posts! I'm amazing.

this is Jeff Wu
you may be pleased to hear that Andy Morgosh is actually a friend of mine who did not score a 91. I scored that and put his name as a joke, not realizing how inconsiderate it was, since i didn't think anyone would care that much about this game. other leaderboard entries might be similarly entered
i'm sure you're better than me at this game, but honestly, making the leaderboard was pretty easy, and nobody really cares if you do or not. also, when u get too fast at this game, its really just finger speed and recognition/memorization, not really skill. i did play it for a while but i got over it really quickly.
i suggest you listen to stupidityismygam. if you like math, you should be doing olympiads/amc series stuff, not the arithmetic game. i bet 95% of USAMO qualifiers could make the leaderboard on that game within a week if they wanted to
btw, what is number sense?

Wow, didn't realize I offended you dude, I'm sorry. I kinda talk a lot of crap, but I don't sincerely mean it, I was just kidding around.
So I'm guessing you don't participate in UIL? Number Sense is one of the events, you have to do 80 problems in 10 minutes, all mentally, and its way harder stuff than Zetamac.
Zetamac helps because you're right, eventually some of it gets stuck in your memory, so when I see some kind of problem on the NS test where 12x92 is a step, I already know it's 1104. That doesn't matter for me anymore though, I graduated. I do Zetamac as a way to just warm up my brain for the day, or shut it off for the night.
Again though dude, sorry if I offended you, no hard feelings bro.
