About Nerd Quiz

Introduction

Hi! I am Susam Pal, the developer and maintainer of Nerd Quiz.

Every question in this quiz comes from my own everyday moments of reading, writing, thinking, learning and exploring. Sometimes, when I come across something curious or fascinating, I turn it into a quiz question and share it here. Each question includes a footer that shows when I wrote the question as well as the penalty score if you answer it incorrectly.

New quizzes are published whenever I have five fresh questions ready. There is no fixed schedule.

The hash value in the URL determines the quiz presented to you. Visit Table of Contents to find links to all quizzes and questions.

Note that while a URL hash like #1 loads a quiz set, a hash like #q1 loads a specific question. Further, you can extend the latter by specifying multiple comma separated integers to create an assorted quiz, e.g. #q1,2,3.

Issues

If you find any errors in the answers or the explanations or bugs in the software, please report it either on GitHub issues or on Codeberg issues.
