At default settings, only boredom makes me run out of time. [Actually, waiting a full minute or so for time to run out was too boring, too. I changed settings before that]
Addition up to 1000 is reasonably fun, but also feels like it would be doable for a really long time with a physical keyboard and at full attention (I got 3328).
That also is a weak point of games like this. IMO, games are good if you can play them without attending to them or when they provide interesting problems. Games with dull problems that require your attention fail. A prime example of the first game type is Tetris; I use to say that your spinal cord can play it. Examples of the second type are Sokoban and (a million times so) DROD (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadly_Rooms_of_Death)
With all operations checked and numbers up to 1000, I find I need more time, and scoring seems brutal (only 16 points after 2 or 3 correct amswers?)
I also find it a bug that you get subtractions with negative numbers as answers.
Finally, is it a bug or a feature that starting a game gets you the same problem and partial answer that the last game finished with? It helps in doing a post-mortem, but can make it really hard to get that first answer right.
