Here you will find the most frequently asked questions and answers about QuizWorld.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t
Is Quizworld for free?<\/summary>

Yes. Quizworld is free.<\/p>\n

There are no hidden costs, subscription fees, or anything like that. You can just start playing.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n\n\t

Can I play the quiz anonymously?<\/summary>

Yes. You don’t need to be logged in to play quizzes.<\/p>\n

However, only registered players can collect points, see quiz answers, and appear on the high score and leaderboards.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n\n\t

How are points calculated in a quiz?<\/summary>

In a quiz, all players receive the same questions.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

You will be asked several quiz questions, for which you have a maximum of 30 seconds each.<\/span><\/span> We measure the exact answer time to two decimal places.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Each question has a difficulty level.<\/span><\/span> There are 5 difficulty levels.<\/span><\/span> A correct answer to a question is worth different points depending on the difficulty level.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. very easy= 25 points <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. easy = 50 points <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. intermediate = 75 points <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. challenging = 100 points <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. expert = 125 points <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If any time remains after the maximum 30 seconds per question and a correct answer, this is added to the points awarded for that question.<\/span><\/span> The result is rounded up or down.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

    If the 30 seconds expire and the question remains unanswered, the next question appears.<\/span><\/span> No answer is counted as an incorrect answer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n\n\t

    How is the difficulty level of the quiz questions determined?<\/summary>

    Each quiz question is assigned a difficulty level, which we manually assign based on experience.<\/span><\/span> Sometimes it’s difficult to assess how hard a question really is.<\/span><\/span> Knowledge changes over time because it’s influenced by cultural developments and societal norms.<\/span><\/span> For example, a 30-year-old today has different knowledge about the 1960s than someone who experienced that era firsthand.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

    After a certain period, we review the answers to quiz questions and adjust the difficulty rating accordingly.<\/span><\/span> We use benchmarks to guide this process.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Quiz questions \u2013 very easy = 80 to 100% correct \/ 0 to 20% wrong answers <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

      What data is collected during the quizzes?<\/summary>

      For each quiz, as well as for the high score and leaderboards, we collect and calculate the following data: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. the number of correct answers <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      2. the points awarded for correct answers <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      3. the success rate (ratio of questions to correct answers) <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      4. the time taken for a correct answer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n\n\t
        What happens when a quiz is completed?<\/summary>

        At the end of each quiz, players have two options.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

        A. Save Score<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        If this option is selected, the current score is saved and displayed: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. in the quiz’s high scores <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
        2. in the player’s profile <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
        3. in the leaderboard of all quizzers<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
