Quick quiz round

How the quick round works

• Tap the topics you want. Green means chosen.
• Tap "Start the round". Answer by tapping an option; the right answer and a note appear at once.
• To play with a group, use "Send questions on WhatsApp" and later "Copy answer key".
• Want fixed rounds instead? Go to all topics.

Ideas for using the quick round

• A daily five: five questions on all topics, once a day, for a family or a class. Keep a running total for the week on the scoreboard.
• Choose your weakness: pick only the one or two topics you know least, and play fifteen questions. It is the quickest way to learn something new.
• Team against team: one person reads the questions from the phone, and teams answer in turn. A wrong answer passes the question on.
• Group challenge: play ten questions, tap "Share my score" and dare your group to beat it.

Fair play

Because the questions are chosen at random, two players never get quite the same round, and some rounds turn out harder than others. For a serious contest between teams, use the fixed rounds on the topic pages instead, where everybody faces the same ten questions. When hosting on WhatsApp, send the questions first and the answer key only after the time is up. The page on how to host a quiz has ready rules to copy.

About the questions

Every question has four options and one correct answer, and a short note that explains it. The notes are worth reading even when you are right; they are where most of the learning is. All questions were written for this site and are suitable for a family audience.
