Answers that may help
What does “how sure” mean?
Your confidence is your chance of being right. Say 70% on ten questions and you should get about seven of them right. Most people are surer than they are right; the game shows you by how much.
How are points worked out?
Each answer scores 100 − 400 × (confidence − outcome)², where the outcome is 1 if you were right and 0 if not. So 50% always scores 0, 100% scores +100 when right and −300 when wrong, and 80% scores +84 or −156. The best strategy is to say exactly how sure you are; the research page explains why.
What do the types mean?
Your type compares how sure you were with how often you were right: Bluffer (way more sure than right: 15 or more points over), Too sure (5 to 15 points more sure than right), Spot on (your confidence matches how often you're right, within 5 points), Too modest (5 to 15 points less sure than right) and Playing it safe (15 or more points less sure than right).
Can I keep playing?
Yes. Choose a topic and difficulty, play ten questions, then try another round. New rounds prefer questions you haven’t seen. Your streak counts the days you finish at least one round; missing a single day doesn’t break it.
What are packs and difficulty?
A pack keeps to one subject, such as History, Languages or Memes. Easy starts with familiar ideas; Normal mixes straightforward questions and close calls; Brutal tests deeper knowledge. A pack is offered only at difficulties with enough questions for a full round.
Do I need an account?
No. There are no accounts and no tracking. Your browser keeps a random id so your streak survives a reload; we never store your IP address or an email. Your anonymous answers become part of a public research dataset (see research). If you add a nickname to a challenge link, it is shown to the people who open that link. Details are in the privacy policy.
Where do the questions come from?
Questions combine sourced Wikidata comparisons with individually written questions, including history, languages and memes. Every answer shows its source. You can report a question that looks wrong right under its answer.
Is there a longer version?
Yes. The full assessment takes 5 minutes: twelve two-choice questions with a confidence rating and six 90% ranges, then a chart of how sure you were against how often you were right.
- Slack: private channels, posting times, results that disappeared.
- Classroom mode: class codes and the dashboard.
- Privacy: what is stored and what never is.
What to include in a bug report
- The address of the page, and whether it was the daily game, the full assessment, Slack or a class dashboard.
- What you did, what you expected, and what happened instead.
- Your device, browser and its version (for example “iPhone 13, Safari 18”).
- The time it happened, with your time zone, and a screenshot if you can.
Please leave out anything personal: names, emails, class dashboard links or Slack tokens. We never need them.
A question looks wrong?
Use “Something wrong with this question?” right under its answer. A question reported by several players is taken out of the game and checked, and that day’s scores are recomputed without it.
