Exactly what she was using it for... it was part of a suite called Kids Station and the software was designed to help kids learn maths, spelling, puzzle solving etc.

If you translate this page in Google Chrome it gives some background...

I spoke to the seller. It was a teacher from Kyoto, and she used the PCE software with 4-5th grade students for the last 20 years. She was using a DUO-RX and allowed students to play matches of Hany on the Road upon competing math exercises.

This made me actually lol.

Congrats kisaku... I really wanted that too but just couldn't justify going any higher.

Glad it went to someone on here.
