Disliking Math Says You Are Expressive |
 You are an expressive, passionate, and spontaneous person. For you, math is way too cold a subject. You dislike how black and white it is. While some people have extreme passion for math, that would take far more work than you're willing to put in. What you're into changes like the wind, and you could never be forced to choose one thing. You have to be free to follow what you love. |

Splitter
Object of the game: Help the smiley face guy 
get to the exit.
Use your mouse to split objects and joints. You have a fixed number of cuts at each level. Only wood and joints can be split; the metal and brick objects can not be split. Collect stars to get points.
In the example above, you would need to cut through the wood that the smiley guy is on (just to the left of the left brick that it's sitting on), then cut the metal weight to make it fall and propel the the smiley upwards to the exit (the brown button) and getting points by hitting the star on the way.
Unlike many other games, you can immediately try the level over, or skip it entirely or even view the solution. You must complete all levels, however, to send your score.
