They keep having to update the headline as the stock goes up, it's now at "more than 300%".
This is pretty fun! I'd suggest having the spellcheck suggestions not pop up correct answers (I typed "Ireland" and it asked if I meant Iceland, which was one of the answers I hadn't gotten to yet). And, for that matter, I'm not really sure why Ireland was wrong. I thought maybe it was because it shares its island with NI, but the DR shares its island with Haiti and DR was accepted.

You can use your left hand to steer the marble (via WASD) and then the right hand on your arrow keys to move the camera around.

You can easily download a rendered chart by using the chart's getDataURL() function. Then just create a new element in your document and set that element's href to the return from getDataURL() and bob's your uncle.
