The rules
- A quiz has 10 questions, shown one at a time.
- Each question has 4 options. Exactly one is right.
- You have 15 seconds for each question. The bar above the question shows the time left.
- Your first tap is your answer. If the time runs out, the question scores 0.
- A right answer scores 500 to 1000 points: the faster, the more.
- After each answer you see the right option, then the next question comes by itself.

|---|---|
| Easy | Things almost everyone knows |
| Medium | Things most people know |
| Hard | Things about half of people know |
| Expert | Things few people know |
Strategy
- Read all four options: two of them are often easy to rule out.
- Go with your first thought: a fast right answer is worth up to twice a slow one.
- Do not run out of time: a guess still has a one-in-four chance, a timeout has none.
FAQ
- How are the points counted?
- A right answer scores 500 to 1000 points: 1000 if you answer at once, 500 at the last moment. A wrong answer or a timeout scores 0. The best possible score is 10,000.
- Can I change my answer?
- No. Your first tap is your answer.
- What happens when I pause?
- The clock stops and the question is hidden until you go on.
