He played Math Blaster: In Search of Spot'' ''during'' ''every maths lesson. Since he only had half an hour to finish it, he barely finished the game. In the game, there was a guy in a green spacesuit called Blasternaut with a blue floating robot friend called Spot. The ship's hyperdrive failed, leaving them stranded in space. While Spot fixed the ship, a yellow alien in a red UFO abducted him, stopping him from fixing the ship. Then players had to answer 5 maths sums correctly to fill the tractor beam, which would give you 5 shots to shoot 5 pieces of garbage. When enough garbage was collected, you had to match up math equations to the correct answers to convert the garbage into fuel. When you collected enough fuel, you would visit the alien's home planet. Unlike earlier levels, you didn't need to type in math equations. Instead, you had to make sure the number on your belly was between the numbers on each side of the platform. If the number on your belly was greater or smaller than those on the platforms, you would be kicked out. When you reached the top of the cave, you met with the same yellow alien in a red UFO as before. To defeat it, you had to look at the question on the red UFO and fly yourself to the answer while avoiding flying garbage. If you got enough answers correct, the red UFO was destroyed & you would save Spot before the ship detonated in 2 seconds. You were then presented with a printable certificate. If it was over the year 2000, it would show the first 2 digits as 19 instead of 20 due to the Y2K bug. In the video (he actually played the game), it said Philip earned a certificate on Thursday, April 18th, 1913, even though he earned it on Thursday, April 18th, 2013.
