arjie: This is greatly enjoyable. It reminds me of Hans Rosling's little quizzes which he claims show that chimpanzees (random pickers) are smarter than professors on his hand-picked questions. It would be cool if it had an adaptive difficulty based on how good you are getting, giving you questions that are closer and closer in value.
soperj: Ahh, this about the US only. Not America.
fidicen: Thank you for playing, I'll check out Hans Roslings' quizzes and add an adaptive difficulty feature for future development. I currently have a minimum difference of like 20% to make the game reasonable.
ministryofwarp: Its about the Gulf of America. Arguments persist about its Easternmost boundary but in the west it extends from Baja California to British Columbia.
zvr: Even better would be an advanced user setting, allowing to set the difference percentage. I find it illuminating to answer questions with 100% (or more), when one answer is at least double the other -- and still make mistakes.
maniacwhat: The is surprisingly fun. One improvement would be to show the relative difference visually when it tells you the answer, like in bar chat form so at a glance you can tell how different they are.
fidicen: Thank you for the suggestion, I'll have to figure out how to show the difference when the other value is bigger/smaller, and also when it's dramatically different (i.e. 152x bigger or smaller)
fidicen: I'll workshop an advanced user setting that can control difficulty for future updates, I may add something like a topic toggle as well
mcrchopra2: This is awesome! Have really been enjoying the game.
soul_grafitti: Cool game, but you need more data. Would be interesting to pull from current events also.
