Intriguing! Sort of a Countdown roleplaying game. I’m someone who quite enjoys the operations of these sort of small maths puzzles (though I’m not always good at them, they are fun) so using mental math as the resolution mechanic for a hard-sci-fi oneshot game is compelling!
(As an aside, I’m curious why you start the players in a stadium - is this a station large enough to house sports events?)
Thank you so much. I reckon playing this enough will definitely make you better at it yourself as well.

No particular reason, but it does help the DM assume a scale of the place. The larger the stadium, the more apparent its significance, the greater possibility of another one, etc. It could've been anywhere, like a theater or some cargo hold, but a stadium does provide a sort of walled area by its nature and demands a certain minimum scale.
