Help
Not yet tried it since you updated the page, but I found that using Safari on my android tablet, it froze after the auction.
Using Chrome on the android tablet (once I remembered to enable javascript, which I tend to leave disabled by default for enhanced security) it came up with error messages periodically, but oddly allowed me to continue with the bidding and play to completion after just cancelling the error messages.
A new way to present problems

I'm using Safari for this and the interface worked out OK. This could be a great way to show hands, if it caught on.
The only message that I took away from this hand is that playing with students is hard. My choice would be to bid 4♠ over 4♥ with North's hand, since it's such a pure offense hand. It looks like it goes down only one. Even if the defense finds some masterful play to send 4♠-X down two, I would rather give up -200 or even -500 than -620, or, heaven forbid, -790.
Speaking of students, I would bid 3♦ in response to your double, with the East hand, rather than the 3♥ which he actually did. But I'm sure you wouldn't be complaining, because 3♥ worked out well enough for HIM. :-p
I prefer the one where Richard Pavlicek refers to you as God's editor.

That was my second 60, and I did it without deep finese!, but as you can see I didn't 'solve' all problems
