Think Quick
At school we were forced to to the most boring and time wasting thing known to man... Mathletics
After i got over the boredom i started to see Mathletics as a challenge to be had instead of a source of boredom. From there i started writing a program to do Live Mathletics, it was a great success i posted a video of the first version of my program on YouTube here. At that point i hadn't come up with a name for the program but did when i got many comments about where they could get it from. So i added a kill switch to the program and a way for me to track how many questions people used it to answer, named it Mathletics and released it.
This went on fine for a while, and i released an easy to use version of Think Quick complete with a GUI. This continued for the next month or so and then got better, in an attempt to stop my program Mathletics added a feint Grey grid behind the questions. After learning of this i had a new version out within the hour, not only did my new version work with the grid, but the changes that i made, made the program faster and more accurate, Thank You Mathletics.
The GUI of the newest version of think quick
Whats your top score
Leave the program running for a few hours and what do you know top of the world

A Few weeks after the release of Think Quick V4 i got an email from Mathletics asking me to stop hosting Think Quick. To this i sadly agreed, although out of the questions answered around 12% where by a Mathletics ip address. Overall this was a fun project and taught me a lot about using python and no I'm not releasing it anymore.

Well its really been a long time since I made this. I really am amazed at how much attention this one page as well as the you-tube video has been viewed just under 90 thousand views, meaning that all of you guys have collectively spent about 61 days watching a program that i spent under a week working on which i find kind of impressive, after I have finished off the HSC and hopefully have bit more time i may release a demo version of the program for old times sake where one is able to use it to answer limited number of questions.

your not getting it
and even if you got it off somebody who had downloaded it before i removed it for download it wouldn’t work as i have removed the validation page. As for you making it yourself, go ahead nobody’s stopping you.

thai guy siriously doesnt want nerds to get this program, but to be so selfish man! come on man! I swear, you can give it to me and the only thing I’ll do is make ONE utube vid. pleeeeeaaaase! I LUV U 4EVA?!?!?!
October 24th, 2009 - 06:54
but on a surious side, what program would you use to create a program like that? not like im going to go and creat something like that, but I would love to have people pay for a thing that I gave them like that, or, ;even … thay could get it 4 free! I totally understand if you dont want to share but it’d be cool to know!
Your sincerely
The MILLIONAIRRE!
October 24th, 2009 - 07:01

October 26th, 2009 - 17:56

October 27th, 2009 - 23:43

October 29th, 2009 - 19:20
nope, just relies on ocr
November 8th, 2009 - 14:02
Could you please at least tell us the scripts or whatever to make it? I have Python, I just need to put in the stuff. PLEASE! I need it more than anything else.
November 11th, 2009 - 07:27
Read the bloody comments.
He said he removed the validation page, so it will NOT work, even if you give someone your imaginary money (which, by the way, half of you can’t spell dollar – yeah, I’ll totally trust you), it dosn’t even work.
@The retarded noob who said he’d make his own:
Why say you’ll pay $50 and beg him for it if you can *make* your own? Seriously, go cry a lake to someone else. We don’t give a shit about whiners like you.
February 26th, 2010 - 04:57
Sorry to bug you. I just started on python but I don’t know how to make this program. Can you upload and email me the source code please? Mathletics only said remove the PROGRAM but not the SOURCE CODE! – Kelvinzhang [at] hotmail [dot] com
February 26th, 2010 - 05:48
Nah I won’t be putting up the source but I will put how the program works in a few days
February 28th, 2010 - 09:07
I have python, but how do you make that program.
March 4th, 2010 - 16:48

I’m not one of the idiots begging for it but I’d like to ask, how did you make it and are you thinking about becoming a programmer cos you could totally make hundreds of dolaz if you made programs for money.
June 14th, 2010 - 07:22
It’s always nice to have a comment that isn’t just some illiterate asking for the program, yea I should have up a post on how it works in the next week or two.
