Thanks for sharing this, great fun! 36⁄42 but I reckon if I’d done this a year or so ago (before reading the sequences/blue minimising robot etc.) I’d have got a lot less.
Incidentally, is it just me or was the “Don’t know” button a bit irrelevant. Even if I have no idea at all I can average 1 point by choosing an answer at random. If I have any idea at all my expected score for the question can only go up as long as I’m over 50% confident. If I’m less than 50% confident I should just choose the other answer!
I like the idea of having more than just yes or no but it would need to be more like Professor McGonnagal in hpmor—marking down for incorrect answers. Even a 1 point loss for getting one wrong would mean I had to be 67% confident to put in a guess. To allow players to enter your actual confidence level you could set it up like The £100k Drop.
