Just to save you some time, I'm going to have all the easy arithmetic symbols (x, /, *) replaced with the proper ones (×, ÷) automatically at some point, so don't worry about fixing them. For conundrums, do you think we should put wrong answers in lower case? Again that can be fixed automatically.

Thanks for your work so far, we're making much faster progress than I expected. Don't forget to change the shuffled version of the TTT, which for some reason the parser has got wrong almost everywhere. Soo 14:21, 18 September 2007 (BST)
