The object of the game is to pick up patients and race them to the hospital. There is a limited amount of time to deliver the patients to the hospital and you must avoid the different obstacles on different levels.[2]
gollark: As far as I'm aware the basic principle is just that a force is exerted on current-carrying wires in magnetic fields because the fields interact or something.
gollark: For the first one, the half life is 30 years and the time is 90 years. So it's 3 half lives (90/30) so its mass halves 3 times, so the mass at the end is 1\*(1/2)\*(1/2)\*(1/2)=1\*(1/2)³=0.125.
gollark: It's how long it takes for half of the atoms in a thing of radioactive isotope to decay.
gollark: Just work out how many half lives the given time is, then divide the starting mass by 2 to the power of however many half lives it is.
gollark: Sounds more like physics.
