Why Neptune Scores 92 When 36.2% of Rounds Choose It

One question, two different measures

For “Name a gas giant or ice giant in our solar system.”, Neptune earns 92 fixed practice points. In the 2026-09-22–2026-10-21 UTC snapshot, it was recorded 324 times in 895 completed daily rounds: 36.2%. These numbers answer different questions. The fixed score is an editorial rating in our published answer set; the share describes choices observed for this exact prompt during this period.

The frequent choice still earns its full fixed score in a solo dive. Our score is not recalculated from this share, and it is not a claim that 92% of people would fail to recall Neptune. This article describes Krillionio’s independent game, not the original Krillion scoring system.

Use the denominator that matches the question

733 rounds ended with an accepted answer; 162 did not. The site’s choice-share denominator includes both groups. Neptune’s share is 324 ÷ 895 × 100 = 36.2%. Its Player Rarity Index is 100 − (324 ÷ 895 × 100) = 63.8, calculated before rounding.

Among accepted rounds alone, the fraction would instead be 324 ÷ 733 × 100 = 44.2%. That is a valid answer to a different question. Do not compare an accepted-only percentage with the all-round share displayed in Player Insights. Neither denominator counts unique people.

What the result supports—and what remains unknown

In this observed sample, the highest-scoring option was also the most frequently recorded accepted answer. That establishes that a high fixed score and frequent selection can coexist. It does not tell us why players chose it: recall, reading the answer list, repeat play and other influences cannot be separated by these counts.

The records use anonymous browser identifiers. The same person can appear on multiple days or devices, and automation is not independently excluded here. The study counts this question’s recorded daily rounds, not visits or whole games; it excludes Unlimited and Battle. A recorded round can belong to a game that was never finished. Different questions have different exposure and answer-set sizes, so this is not a global difficulty ranking.

Of the 895 records, 240 carry the reviewed answer-version fingerprint and 655 predate fingerprint recording. Aggregated points agree with the listed scores, but that does not recover every historical rule or alias version. Treat the fixed score column as the reviewed published edition, rather than proof that all historical versions were identical.

Turn the comparison into a practice decision

For a solo score target, practice an accepted name or listed alias you can enter confidently; popularity does not reduce its fixed points. For Battle, where matching canonical answers cancel, learn more than one valid option. Daily aggregate shares cannot predict the people in your particular room.

Start an untimed dive below with this exact question. Recall an alternative before opening the answer list, check its membership and spelling, then decide whether to repeat with a timer. The useful exercise is building a second reliable answer, not treating this month’s frequency as a guaranteed strategy.
