Ok, It's basically Pacman with numbers. I would be interested in coding 
that up in Python of course provided someone (you?) would be willing to 
handle things like organising or providing suitable art work, and 
defining things like what the levels/problems should be. (assuming there 
are levels).

I'm kind of looking for a simple and relatively small project at the 
moment. (I've got too many half completed project floating around the 
place).

Yes, it looks like a good concept that could be applied to a whole range 
of problems or areas which have one question and multiple possible 
answers, not just math.

Chemistry: Metals, Gases, Radioactive materials.
