Need an Idea for a simple VB games

I need to make up a quick game tonight in VB for my IT101 course. This game is extremely simple, to the point where I am bored with it.

I am not asking for how to program it, I am just looking for suggestions.

The application only has to include the following elements:

Timer, Picturebox, numeric updown, label, textbox, button, random numbers, assignment statements, if statements.

This is all real simple stuff, yet for the life of me i cannot come up with a good idea that is not too complex for this homework.

Any suggestions?

Once again I am not looking for code, just suggestions.

Thanks in advance ATOT.

I did a tic-tac-toe game with a multiple-difficulty AI (Three settings - it'd intentionally throw the game, play all-out-randomly, or force a win/draw every time) for my Java class.
 
<Picturebox, numeric updown>

What are these? Otherwise, you can do what brtspears2 suggested (timed math problems).

 
Preschool math, use pictureboxes for 1-9 apples or bunnies or tubgirls.


Artillery duel, use updown (aka spin controls?) for elevation and/or powder bags, picbox for cannons.
 
How about the old "Guess the number" game. The computer picks a random number from 1 to 10 (or whatever). The player enteres their guess, and the computer tells them higher or lower.

That's about as simple as it gets.
