  • Each board has nine statements. Exactly one row, column or diagonal is three true statements: find it.
  • Tap three squares, or one of the line buttons under the board, then lock the line in.
  • The T and F buttons are private notes. They never score.
  • Keyboard: 1 to 9 pick squares, the arrow keys move, T and F note the focused square, L locks in.
  • Pause whenever you like (Esc). The board hides while the clock is stopped.

Pick the one line of three true statements. The first board appears when you start.

About this quiz

A run is six boards drawn from a pool of 12, covering presidents, monarchs, popes, the Space Race, the Second World War, the American Revolution and who joined what, when. You do not need to know all nine statements: two sure falsehoods can rule out most of the eight lines.

  • Every board has exactly one winning line. No board has two, and none has zero.
  • Each board is turned or flipped at random when it is dealt, so the winning line is never in a remembered place.
  • After you lock a line in, all nine statements are marked true or false, and each false one comes with what is true.
  • The T and F buttons under each square are private notes. They never count for or against you.
