- Every group is on the board. Click a group (or press its number), then click the bank buttons that belong to it.
- When a group is full the next open one takes over. A wrong pick stays in the bank: it belongs somewhere else.
- Start with the groups you are sure of; what is left helps with the rest.
- Pause whenever you like (Esc). The board hides while the clock is stopped.
Pick the 5 that belong to each group. The groups and the bank appear when you start.
About this quiz
Every group is a list Ribbia has already checked for one of its other quizzes. The 25 bank buttons are dealt from those lists, and a name that appears on two of them is never used.
- All groups are on the board at once: fill them in any order.
- A wrong pick fills one of that group's slots with a cross. The item stays in the bank, because it belongs to another group.
- At the end the board shows where every wrong pick really belongs.
