- Every region holds exactly one of the eight, so a region that is used is out of the running.
- Keys: 1 to 8 pick the numbered regions, S skips to the next name and comes back later.
- Pause whenever you like (Esc). The board hides while the clock is stopped.
Click the region of the diagram where the president belongs. The diagram and its three rules appear when you start.
About this quiz
6 diagrams take turns, each made of three rules about birth states, elections, parties and the vice presidency. After the round every placement is explained.
- Each play deals eight presidents, one for every region of the diagram, the outside included.
- A president before 1857 is never asked about the Republican circle, because the party table used here starts in that year.
- A wrong click loses that one president and the game moves on.
