About the science questions
Science runs from what makes something alive, through materials and their properties, forces, light and sound, the human body, plants, habitats and space. The younger years ask about things a child can see happen; the older ones ask why it happens.
Facts are checked rather than assumed. The famous false ones that fill most quizzes - the Great Wall being visible from space, humans using ten per cent of their brains, goldfish forgetting after three seconds, Vikings wearing horned helmets - are not here, and there is an automated check that refuses to let them in.
Where something is genuinely contested or depends on how you define a term, it is left out entirely. A quiz that marks a child wrong for a defensible answer teaches them to distrust their own reasoning, which is the opposite of the point.
Frequently asked
How do you know the answers are right?๏ผ
Every bank is written, then checked again by a separate pass looking specifically for wrong answers, ambiguous options and disputed claims. A script then blocks a list of well-known myths from ever being marked as the correct answer.
Is it frightening for young children?๏ผ
No. Nothing gory, nothing about death or disaster in the children's year groups. That is enforced automatically, not left to judgement.
What age is the hardest set for?๏ผ
The grown-ups set assumes no science education beyond school but does assume you were paying attention. Expect around sixty per cent if you were.
