The thing is, with what you're trying to do, you'll have to check each input (if you want it to repeat until they get it right at least). Which, unless there's some math library I don't know about out there to check answers, means you'll have to put in the correct answers (like a switch statement or something, or at least that's what comes to mind first for me).

I'm looking at it right now and I'll let you know if I come up with something.

edit:
I think this might be what you're looking for...
Code:
 
#!/bin/bash
i=1
while [ $i -le 10 ]; do
    j=1
    while [ $j -le 10 ]; do
      echo "$i * $j = "  
      read answer1
      if ["$answer1" -eq "$((i*j))"]
      then
        echo 'Right!'
        ((j+=1))
      else
        echo 'Wrong!' 
     fi     
    done
    ((i+=1))
done

savetextmode

savetextmode(1) 						Svgalib User Manual						   savetextmode(1)

NAME

       savetextmode, textmode - save or restore the complete SVGA status for textmode.

SYNOPSIS

       savetextmode
       textmode

DESCRIPTION

       These  are  simple  scripts  to	save  the  SVGA  register  state  when	in  textmode  to the files /etc/vga/fontdata and /etc/vga/textregs
       ($HOME/.vga/fontdata and $HOME/.vga/textregs if directory /etc/vga is not writeable) or to restore it from these files.

       The actual utilities used are restorefont(1), restoretextmode(1), and restorepalette(1).

       The purpose of these scripts program is usually to recover from a crashed console due to an svgalib, Xfree or other program bug.

       You do this by being a smart guy and running savetextmode right after booting of your machine, prior to any problems.  Then,  in  case  the
       SVGA  state  is hosed and you sit in front of a blank or useless console, change VC (maybe login) to get to a shell. Or exist the currently
       running program with <Ctrl>-C, <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Backspace>, or whatever applies. Once you got a shell, run textmode and it will hopefully ren-
       der your console useable again.

       To  make it clear: You do all this while not seeing anything on your console screen, you enter this information blindly or after logging in
       from a network. Also, if the keyboard is left in raw mode, nothing can really help you as you cannot enter  anything  which  a  shell  will
       understand.

FILES

       /etc/vga/fontdata or $HOME/.vga/fontdata
       /etc/vga/textregs or $HOME/.vga/textregs
