The dragon of 9

Lazy Ladon, a great old dragon who hates math, has locked up the ten dragons that guard the times tables. Menny guards the 9s. One level is one answer of the table, and a voice says it while you play.

The dragon of 9

Free Menny

Menny is asleep in a cage. Every level you finish puts on one light. Five lights wake the padlock.

Push the two numbers and the answer onto their places. Arrow keys on a computer, swipe on a phone or tablet. A gold star means you did it without help.

Levels 6 to 10 open with the book. That is where Menny gets the fire back and steps into your room. The book comes out in November 2026.

The hard half is in the book

The first five answers of a table are the easy half. The book opens levels 6 to 10 of every table, gives Menny the fire back, and lets the dragon step into your room through a phone or tablet. It also has every trick.

One email when the book is out, and nothing else. We don't add you to a newsletter. Privacy.

The dragon's name

Short for Menelaus

Each of the ten dragons carries the name of a Greek mathematician. Menelaus of Alexandria lived about 1,900 years ago and worked out the geometry of triangles drawn on a ball.
