Real-time maths game between two random strangers on a mobile device using NFC!

On a mobile phone Using NFC(Near Field Communication), random strangers find and challenge each other in public!
When another registered player is encountered. They are given the option to challenge and accept matches.

Each player is then brought to a battle screen where they are given a Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,13... etc) up to a certain length.
From the countdown players then furiously race to be the first to successfully type it in!
Players then race to be the first to complete the sequence, or to avoid being the first to make a mistake.
Each time a challenge game is played the game gives them a certain sequence that has to be reached.

Allows multiple ways to win. Provides balance to the game, since each strategy offers inherent trade-offs and advantages.
I.e.
- Typing fast achieves speed, but increases the risk of error;
- Typing carefully reduces chance of error, but makes it easy for opponent to beat you quickly

Interface resembles a simple calculator, which shows where your opponent is at in real-time!
