How Our Panel of Judges Evaluate Question Difficulty
Our panel of judges uses these criteria to fairly evaluate question difficulty across all events:
Obscurity & Familiarity
Questions about well-known subjects are rated easier than those on obscure topics. The judges consider how likely an average person would be familiar with the subject matter.
Specialized Knowledge
Questions requiring specific expertise in a field (like advanced physics or niche hobbies) receive higher difficulty scores than those drawing on general knowledge.
Cultural & Geographic Context
The judges account for regional knowledge biases. Questions that might be common knowledge in one region but obscure elsewhere are carefully calibrated for fairness.
Recency & Newsworthiness
Current events are evaluated based on their prominence in media coverage. Breaking news gets a lower difficulty rating than obscure recent developments.
Question Format
Question formats directly impact difficulty scores. Multiple-choice questions are rated easier than open-ended ones. Fill-in-the-blank, multi-part answers, and questions requiring lateral thinking receive progressively higher difficulty ratings.
This comprehensive evaluation ensures that teams are rewarded for answering truly challenging questions, regardless of which event they attend, creating a fair playing field for all competitors.
Example Question Scoring
Here are some examples of how questions would be scored by our panel of judges:
How many total numbers on the wheel are covered if a player makes a "snake" bet in roulette?
The 'snake' bet in roulette is a rare and specialized wager, not commonly known even among casual casino-goers. Only those with specific knowledge of roulette betting options are likely to know the answer without guessing.
If Albert Einstein and Steven Hawking ever got together to smoke, this is without a doubt a top candidate choice for a delivery system as it references some of their best work in its name.
'Gravity bong' is a term familiar to those with knowledge of cannabis culture, but not to the general public, making this more difficult.
Along with 'All the King's Men' the southern book that won the Pulitzer for fiction and became a Best Picture Oscar winner.
'Gone with the Wind' is a classic, but the connection to the Pulitzer and Best Picture may not be immediately known to many, though it's guessable for literature and film fans.
Early 20th century entertainment star Isadora Duncan was tragically killed in 1927 when fashion met technology. What article of clothing directly led to her demise?
Isadora Duncan's death by scarf is a well-known anecdote in popular culture and often cited in trivia. While not everyone knows it, many people with general knowledge or an interest in history or fashion do.
What habit of President Obama's was publicly revealed and criticized after a medical exam in early 2010?
President Obama's smoking habit was widely reported in the media after his 2010 medical exam. While not everyone may recall the year, the fact that he was criticized for smoking is common knowledge.
What two-word Latin phrase translates more literally to 'pluck the day'?
'Carpe Diem' is a very common Latin phrase, widely referenced in pop culture and education.
Note: Difficulty scores range from 1-100, with higher scores representing more difficult questions. Teams earn more points for correctly answering questions with higher difficulty scores.
