In reviewing the question sets for RR Andy made something bothers me a
little bit, and no it is not errors, there are surprisingly few of them.  RR
is a fairly fast paced game that requires quick thinking.  Judging from what
I saw when I went with Doug to help test, I think some of these questions
may be a bit too hard for these kids to manage while also avoiding enemies.
 These are questions that I would require at least a few seconds and more
than likely scratch paper in order to solve.

Examples:  48 x 7
                 81 x 6
                 2.1 x 9
                 0.26 x 5

These are just a few.  I'm thinking these more difficult question sets
should probably be relegated to just being in BS or possibly removed.  I'm
going to e-mail Christy this afternoon and double check to make sure the
chapters sets were made for are going to be covered and maybe talk to her
about the difficulty levels these questions should be.  RR, to me, feels
like it is a game that is similar to a timed test.  The way BS is set up it
would be easier for the students to handle questions of this magnitude.

Thoughts?
