### 4/5 — Great

*2014-04-20*

This is a great app that really makes you think. The only issue I have with this is that the hints cost so much money for so little. I think instead of having only 3 hints, you should earn hints with how many perfect scores you get. That's all though, beside that. I love it, and I think it's worth the download
