How to play
Your goal is to give the answer most people give. There is no right or wrong answer — only how common your answer is in this sample.
One round, step by step
- Read the question. You see one question at a time, for example “Name a fast food chain.”
- Type one answer. Short is best. Up to 60 characters; links are not accepted.
- Submit your guess. Press the arrow or Enter to lock it. A known spelling is recorded immediately.
- Choose a spelling only if asked. Similar wording may get up to two suggestions. Choose one or keep your wording. Once submitted, an answer cannot be changed.
- Read the result, then continue. You see your group, its share, the top groups and what this question adds to your score. After question 5 you get your summary.
A worked round Demo
Question: “Name a fast food chain.” You type Wendy’s. It is recorded as Wendy's. With 400 valid answers, the result looks like this:
This question's sync
84 ÷ 152 × 100 = 55.3 — no star, because your group is not the top group.
Stars and sync measure different things
| Stars | Sync | |
|---|---|---|
| Question asked | Did you name the top group? | How close was your group to the top group? |
| Per question | 1 or 0 (ties for first earn 1) | Your group's amount ÷ top group's amount, at most 100 |
| For the day | 0 to 5 | Average of the five questions, shown as a whole number |
A demo day with three top answers, one near miss (98.2) and one miss (55.3).
Daily challenge or practice?
- Daily challenge — the same five questions for everyone on this site for one UTC day. Your answers join the count, you get a provisional score at once, and the day is settled after it closes. Finishing on time extends your streak.
- Practice — finished sets and replays. Scored against frozen data, never added to any count, never affects streaks. Open practice
Each answer counts once. Reloading, losing the connection or opening a second tab will show the answer you already confirmed, not a new vote.
When the day changes
| Moment | UTC | Beijing | Your time |
|---|---|---|---|
| New set opens / previous set closes | 00:00 | 08:00 | — |
| Previous set settled (usually) | 00:10 | 08:10 | — |
An answer counts only if our server accepted it before 00:00 UTC. The 10 minutes before settlement are not extra answering time.
Basic questions
Does the top answer need more than 50%?
No. It only needs the largest share. Many questions are won with 20–40%.
Is there a correct answer?
No. These are opinion and association questions. The result shows how common each answer is in this sample, not whether it is true.
My spelling was different — will it still count with the others?
Case, spacing and apostrophe shape never matter. Other differences only merge if you pick a suggestion or a maintainer confirms the spelling for that question. Grouping rules
Why is my score “provisional”?
Other players keep answering until the day closes, which can move every share. The score becomes final when the day is settled.
Can I replay a past day for my streak?
No. Replays are practice and never fill a missed day.
