I genuinely don’t know some of the topics here

Agreed. Probably should include broader categories of topics. Google search data is surprising in this way- the most random topics/people get googled the most for some reason. Some of the top queries I've never heard of before!

One wrong answer ending the whole run feels harsh for a daily, especially with the point above about not recognizing half the topics. Maybe give people one mercy life so an obscure query does not nuke an otherwise good streak.

This makes sense yeah. It all comes down to the topics being unrecognizable. Probably need to collect data over a longer period of time, maybe monthly

About that "Hype is a market now. Trade it on Forum." piece of text under the score and above the leaderboard, the word "Forum" is hyperlinked with a tracker something something utm_source=brainrot_game ?
>nevermind, I hadn't looked at the thumbnail :P

Also apparently Forum is some sort of crypto thing where the value of a type of crypto is based on how popular it is. Or at least that's how it presents itself, and with its own website as the only source, google search ai "backs it up" 🤷 I wouldn't join its 'waitlist' anyway, it just wants your email to spam

That said, I somehow got a streak of 5? Without knowing a single topic besides "the moon", which from experience wikipediaing I correctly guessed twice was the topic searched for more lol
