About this quiz
A chain of numbered lists: planets from the Sun, elements by atomic number, presidents, Greek letters, months, states by admission, films in order of release and more.
- Only letters are counted: spaces, full stops, hyphens and numerals in a name are ignored.
- No answer appears twice, and the same list never comes up twice in four questions.
- A wrong pick shows the right answer and the chain moves on, so one miss never strands you.
