About this arcade

This is the same binary addition you already know from calm practice, now timed and scored. The math doesn't change — what changes is whether you can carry a bit and land the sum without hesitating, the way you'll actually need to on exam day.

Each round throws two fresh binary numbers at you and starts the clock. Read them, add them, type the sum. Your streak and your time per question both feed your score, so getting it right matters, but getting it right quickly matters too.

Binary
The base-2 number system that uses only the digits 0 and 1; the native language of digital computers, which store and process data as electrical on/off states.
Bit
Short for binary digit, the smallest unit of data in computing, holding a single value of 0 or 1; all digital information is ultimately composed of bits.
Carry
In binary addition, the value of 1 passed to the next higher bit position when a column's sum exceeds the maximum value representable by a single bit.
