About this quiz
The board is dealt from lists Ribbia already holds: US states, US state capitals, Capital cities, Countries, US presidents, NFL teams, Chemical elements, Constellations, Planets. Reading fast is half the game; the other half is not clicking the name you were looking out for.
- State capitals sit beside the states themselves, so Indianapolis is safe and Indiana is not.
- 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.
