Daily Trivia Challenge - Average # Correct - 2024

What is the Daily Trivia Challenge?

On May 4th 2024 JetPunk introduced the Daily Trivia Challenge. Every Day 10 Trivia Questions are asked, with a choice between 4 possible answers for each, with only 1 of them being correct.

2.

The Stats

Now while the DTC obviously pushes you to be fast, as it rewards you with a time bonus, we will just be focusing on the number of correct answers here, both because I think it's more interesting, and data for average points isn't available.

Average # Correct for 2024


6.5/10


That means 65% of the time the correct answer is guessed, since there are 4 possible options with only 1 being correct choosing completely randomly gives you 25% odds of choosing correctly.

So JetPunkers exceed the odds by 40%

Well at least y'all aren't just picking randomly.

Outro

That's all I have for now, how easy/hard did you find these 2 DTCs?

Personally for me, October 26th is my 3rd Highest all-time score, and my Highest of 2024. (9,886 points)

While November 12th was certainly hard for me, it doesn't land in my bottom 5, all-time or for 2024. (4,927 points)

Hope everyone keeps having fun with the DTC and keeps gaining random trivia knowledge!

Massive thank you to KiwiJami for his help with the coding for the blocks above.
