Maths Mage responds to the following commands:
Opens a session and provides an introduction. Subsequent commands do not have to be prefixed with Alexa and Maths Mage.
Start a quiz session. You can specify the difficulty level. If you don't specify the level, then questions will be chosen at random from the different levels. Most of the questions should be possible to work out in your head, however, you may find it helpful to have a pen and paper handy for the more difficult ones.
The last question is repeated and you get another chance to answer. You may ask this if your are not sure of something or need more time to answer.
Alexa provides some interesting fact or joke. You can ask for fun stuff at any time. If you want to resume the quiz then just ask to Repeat question whilst the dialogue is still in progress.
If you are in a quiz session then Alexa provides a hint to assist with the question. Your score for the correct answer will be halved so you might want to avoid using hints unless you really need them. If you are not in a quiz session then Alexa will provide a randomly selected hint for the specified level. If you don't specify the level then the hint will be chosen at random from the different levels. Some of the hints have images to provide additional clarity. The images should be shown alongside the hint text on devices with displays.
Alexa provides a summary of the results of the quizzes that have been run on all devices with the same Amazon user. Note that if you reinstall the skill then you will be issued a new user and your old results will no longer be available.If you would prefer to have account-linking, please let us know. The advantage of account-linking would be that the user would continue to be the same if you reinstalled the skill. It would also be possible to link with a different Amazon user. However, all users of the skill on the devices will still be indistinguishable.
Alexa provides a summary of the scores on the leader board for the selected month. If no month is specified then the current month is used. Alexa will also tell you if you are on the leader board.
Alexa provides information on the quiz and commands.
The quiz or dialogue will be ended and an exit message played.
It is also possible to issue most of the commands directly with Alexa ask Maths Mage... For example, Alexa ask Maths Mage to start an easy quiz.
Note: For convenience we have assumed a trigger word of Alexa and used Alexa as the name of the device.
