    In Japan, O stands for "correct" and X (or a tick) for "incorrect" when grading a test etc, while in western countries, X is usually used to mark something (checkboxes, etc), so my guess is they changed it for that reason.

    I've never seen a tick being used for marking the wrong answer outside Japan. You also usually use X to select something (=mark it as correct), not O. And they have a triangle to indicate "half-correctness"

    • Cursor is on units
    -> Press left
    • Cursor is on tens
    -> Press left
    • Cursor can't go to hundreds because the value doesn't go that far, heck why don't you max it out instead.
    = Value is set to max (50)


    Sounds 100% fine to me. On the other hand, if these arrows weren't used to MOVE THE CURSOR, I'd be perfectly ok with them changing the value, but then I wouldn't use arrows, I'd use - on the left and + on the right. Also, I wouldn't put arrows above and under the digit. Those are your cue that you're actually working with position-based adjustment of the value's individual digits, and not the value as a whole.

    • Observe
    • Apply Proper Logic
    • ???
    • Profit
