📝 Description

When clicking the "Start" button on the Math Quiz main screen, the game does not transition to the active state or display questions. The UI remains stuck on "Press Start to Play!" and no errors are thrown in the browser console.

🔄 Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the Math Quiz application.
  2. Observe that initial states (Lives: 3, Score: 0, Streak: 0, Timer: 10) load correctly.
  3. Click the green "Start" button.
  4. Observe that nothing happens.

🎯 Expected Behavior

Clicking "Start" should launch the timer, hide the "Press Start to Play!" card, and display the first math problem.

❌ Actual Behavior / Error Logs

The application remains completely unresponsive upon clicking the button. There are no error logs, tracebacks, or warnings printed in the browser developer console or the terminal. The failure is entirely silent.
