Krillionio practice scoring explained
Practice knowledge points and daily crowd counts measure different things. We show them separately.
Our fixed knowledge score
Each accepted practice answer has an editorial score between 10 and 100. These are estimates of how familiar an answer feels, not a survey percentile. Scores are frozen in the question-set version: arriving later in the day cannot reduce your points.
| Practice label | Points per answer |
|---|---|
| Familiar | 10–39 |
| Uncommon | 40–64 |
| Deep cut | 65–84 |
| Outlier | 85–100 |
Every point represents 10 metres. Six perfect answers would be 600 points, or 6,000 metres. A skipped or timed-out round scores zero. An unrecognized submission can be retried until the clock expires.
Real daily crowd counts
After answering, you can see how many recorded daily rounds on this website chose the same canonical answer. Aliases are combined. The total includes skips and timeouts; practice and battle sessions are excluded.
Counts can change during the UTC day. After the daily closes, the answer archive reports the final submitted-round counts. We show the actual sample size even when it is small.
Why can a correct answer earn fewer points?
Correctness determines whether the answer fits the question. Our editorial familiarity rating determines its fixed knowledge points. An accepted alias has the same score as the canonical name. Changing capitalization or using a longer title does not increase the score.

Player Rarity Index is a separate measure
The index is 100 minus an answer’s observed choice percentage for the same question over the previous 30 completed UTC days. Answer comparisons need at least 20 rounds for the question and five choices for the answer. Skips and timeouts remain in the denominator. These thresholds do not make the sample representative; an anonymous browser record is not a verified unique person. The index never changes fixed points.

What does “safe pick” mean here?
On a practice prompt page, a verified pick is an answer present in our sourced answer set. It qualifies for the matching prompt. Its points are fixed in that question-set version.
