About this quiz
The board is dealt from lists Ribbia already holds: US presidents, UK prime ministers since 1900, People who walked on the Moon, English and British monarchs, Popes since 1900, US state capitals, NBA teams, Shakespeare plays, The nine Muses. Reading fast is half the game; the other half is not clicking the name you were looking out for.
- Lincoln, Jackson, Madison and Jefferson City are state capitals named after presidents; only the full names of presidents are mines.
- The grid is shuffled for every play, and the first play of the day is the same for everyone.
- One wrong click ends the round, so a slow sure click beats a fast guess.
