Definitely something we will consider!

Nice job. I noticed you had a question related to the Hundred Years’ War. One of my favorite gotchas is to ask someone, “How long did the Hundred Years’ War last?”

follow up with "how long did the thirty years war last

That's the one I missed. I recall it was around 1300-1400... I guessed the wrong one. But 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Citations needed. I refuse to believe Pärt gets more airplay than Glass.

Trick question: World's oldest university in continuous operation is different from the 'oldest'. Otherwise, the university of flint tools is the oldest.

It's nice, looks clean, and good questions. Wouldn't have minded having five rather than three!

Thanks a lot. I'm afraid five questions is too much for most people and that they'll avoid coming back. Also, creating almost 100 high quality questions per month (30x3) is actually a bit of work. But thanks for the feedback. We will consider it.

Totally get that, and it was more an expression of me being eager for more. :)

3/3 quite a nice clean design. Was hoping for archives, but then noticed this post was from today.

Its been running for some months. New questions every day of course. Sometimes related to the season. Such as Easter questions during Easter. Glad you enjoyed

Fun, I was only confident in one answer but got lucky with a 3/3.

Why “kviss”?

Its the Norwegian word/pronunciation of "quiz".

Fun questions!

Very nice! I got lucky guessing the hundred years war question, 3/3 on my first go.
I'll deffo check in from day to day.
I like it. It would be nice to know why the other answers are wrong, if you get a question wrong. Maybe something like a short explanation under the wrong answers in a small font? I got the Hundred Years' War wrong, saying 1320. I had the right thought that it was England-France (judging from Wikipedia), but apparently there was a different conflict in 1320, and it would be nice to know which one, so that I can learn from the mistake.
