You computed points in line 250 & 251, but you did not put the points back to your "points" input tag value?

By the way, there is a bug in your page. I didn't try to look at it but this is how I created it.
1.Open the page
2.Play through one game (click Finished button)
3.Click on 'Addition' to play another game (click Finished button)
4.Try to use 'F5' to refresh after the game finish, but it did nothing
5.Click on the browser address bar and press enter (force refresh for new value)
6.Got an alert message of "printChallengeProblems: array has been corrupted?"

Just to let you know so you could try to fix the problem that should not happen like that. :)

strange couse i dont have this kind of error... also i did put back points into input tag value

var points = 0;
   tbody = document.getElementById(kTableIdForAnswers);
   var frag = document.createDocumentFragment();
   
   assert((kNumberOfProblems==gProblemArray.length), "printChallengeProblems: array has been corrupted?");

tr = document.createElement("tr");
   for (var i = 0; i < kNumberOfProblems; i++){
      td = document.createElement("td");
         td.setAttribute("align", "right");
            br = document.createElement("br");
         td.appendChild(br);  
         font = document.createElement("font");           
	
         if(gProblemArray[i].theirAnswer == gProblemArray[i].answer)         {  
            numRight++
			points++
			points = points + 1;			
         }

ok managed to get points :) closed :)
