===== Krillion Stats ===== This is a dabble into whether I will be able to maintain a record of my stats/scores for daily-ish Krillion attempts. [[https://krillion.io/|Krillion.io]] is a daily trivia game, where you are given categories like "name an animal containing the letter G" of which there are multiple answers, and it will award you a score based on the obscurity of your answer compared to other answers: fewer points for answers most people give, more points for answers people rarely give. In my experience with documenting my scores, I have a tendency to lose interest in playing the game as much knowing I'll need to document it. We'll see how long my interest in documenting lasts =) Due to width limitations, I may abbreviate the category a bit. For example, "Name a Country Whose Name Starts With C" would be "Country Name Stars With C" ==== 2026 ==== ---- == 2026-0901: 250m / #48 == ^ Category ^ Answer ^ Rarity ^ | Name A Country in Oceania | New Zealand | Plankton | | Animal Starts With B | Beaver | Schooler | | Name A Deep Fried Food | Mars Bar | Rare | | Name A Transformers Character | Soundwave | Schooler | | Name A Member of the Beatles | Ringo Starr | Schooler | | Country with Territories or Dependencies | Canada | Schooler | | Name A US-Based Airline past or present | TWA | Rare | | Notes: I used TWA on an earlier Krillion; I know there are\\ non-fab-4 Beatles but don't know their names\\ ||| == 2026-0828: 145m == ^ Category ^ Answer ^ Rarity ^ | Country/Territory w/ Union Jack in flag | Australia | Plankton | | Name A Living Bird That Cannot Fly | Emu | Schooler | | Name A Dip | Spinach Dip | Schooler | | Name A Game of Thrones Character | Hodor | Too Clever | | Chemical Element gas at room temp | Neon | Schooler | | Name A Drake Song | - | Zero! | | Name A Famous Museum | Smithsonian | Schooler | | Notes: I do not know any Drake songs, so I just typed random single words\\ without any success. I have never seen Game of Thrones but a cow-orker once told\\ me about Hodor that I remembered. Thought about maybe Tobacco after I already hit\\ enter, for Dip. Food and music questions are rough for me. ||| == 2026-0827: 365m (new personal best) == ^ Category ^ Answer ^ Rarity ^ | Name A Berry | Boysenberry | Rare | | Name An Airline | TWA | Deep Cut | | Name A Doughnut Chain | Daylight Donuts | Rare | | Language Written in Latin Alphabet | Polish | Schooler | | Name A Computer Operating System | Linux | Plankton | | Animal That Lives In Groups | Prairie Dog | Rare | | Name A Nursery Rhyme | Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater | Rare | | Notes: I was in disbelief my operating system answer was only Plankton level,\\ so I looked up the answers, and it is possibly the longest list I've ever seen\\ on a Krillion, and definitely the longest section of purple answers. They were\\ needing more specific distros. Even things like Windows 95 was in the purple. ||| == 2026-0826: 160m == ^ Category ^ Answer ^ Rarity ^ | Country where Christianity is main religion | Italy | Plankton | | Name a Prehistoric Mammal | Sabertooth | Plankton | | Name A Candy | Runts | Rare | | Name A Logical Fallacy | - | Zero! | | Something Found in a Bathroom | Curtain Rod | Rare | | NBA Player in the Hall of Fame | Larry Bird | Plankton | | A Holiday from Anywhere in the World | Easter | Plankton | | Notes: I know logical fallacies but just went totally blank. I am\\ pretty positive S.Korea is mainly Christianity but it wouldn't accept. ||| == 2026-0825: 165m == ^ Category ^ Answer ^ Rarity ^ | Country name starts with C | Chad | Orange? | | Animal Name Containing G | Alligator | Schooler | | Pancake/Flatbread From Any Cuisine | Chapati | Rare | | Name A Netflix Original Series | Wednesday | Plankton | | Name A Hollywood Director | Spielberg | Plankton | | A Country with +100M Population | India | Plankton | | Handicraft: Hobby performed with hands | Crochet | Schooler | | Notes: It didn't like my "plastic canvas" hobby I do frequently which\\ involves sewing mesh together, so I opted for the lamer Crochet answer. |||
