→Activity 5: Horse Race
The computer now plays a call to the races, and you're ready to begin! Player 1 enters the answer to the first problem. The computer tells how long it took to respond and whether or not the answer is correct. The second player responds to the next problem, and the computer displays the time it took Player 2 to answer. Both players' horses, along with the computer's horse, move down the racetrack. A correct answer, combined with the amount of time taken to respond, determines how far a horse moves on the track. The computer's horse advances according to the number of incorrect answers supplied by Player 1 and Player 2. The players continue until one of the horses reaches the finish line and a winner is declared.

At the end of an activity, the computer displays the name of the winner and plays a short tune. In activities with a time limit, the total time taken by each player is shown.
====Error Signals====If you enter an incorrect answer, the computer displays the word "Incorrect" and the correct answer. In time-limit games, the amount of time taken also is displayed. If you fail to respond within the time limit, the computer displays "Time's Up" and gives you the correct answer.
