Thanks for making the game! I played it, and was a little frustrated that not all of your questions had the correct answers. For example, I recall one of the questions as reading, “How many typical transport protocols are on the internet?” which is not quite the same as what was answered, “How many internet transport protocols are commonly used?” You see, any protocol is “typical” for its use cases, even if it is uncommon. It reminded me somewhat of taking the SAT, where the test writers would replace a word with a more common word which doesn’t actually quite mean what they intended. As the commenter below me pointed out, what he does with such questions is go meta—and I kind of like that perspective—but it was nevertheless a little frustrating. Overall though, I liked the game. Thanks for making it.
Note: I edited this the day after I wrote it because I found it a little too antagonistic, and I don’t want to be antagonistic. I really did like the game, and appreciate that you made it.

One thing I do with such questions is go meta, i.e. add some uncertainty for P(the tool actually has the right answer)when giving my responses.
