OBTW,

I checked the DB, and the trivial question posed by Mike has been answered 123 times so far and of those 123 times, there have been 47 wrong answers.

(123 - 47) / 123 = 61.7% CORRECT.

The overall computer trivia score for all guests (in the same "guest" group as Mike Baran) is 63.8%,

This means that this "be precise in reading" question has been answered correctly by guests in a very close correlation to all questions answered in general by all guests; and so, statistically speaking, this leads me to believe (without rigorous proof) that most trivia players read the questions carefully, since that is the nature of TRUE / FALSE questions, generally speaking.

On the other hand, I have seen in the DB where some users answer questions at various intervals, some like to answer very fast and move on to the next question, some answer more slowly. Maybe someday I will write some code to try to determine the average rate of play for players and see if there is any correlation to player scores.

I know that, for me, I was taught to read T/F exam questions at least twice. Sometimes, I think I even scan them backward, LOL.

But like in all things, we are all different. Some chess players love speed chess. Others chess players prefer to sit and think out each move (like me) carefully. I've never been a fan of rapid chess, but others love it.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

purity-ng

PURITY-NG(6)							   Games Manual 						      PURITY-NG(6)

NAME

       purity-ng - general purpose purity testing software

SYNOPSIS

       purity-ng [OPTION]...  list|FILE|TESTNAME

DESCRIPTION

       Purity  is  an  interactive purity test program with a simple, user interface and datafile format.  For each test, questions are printed to
       the your terminal, and you are prompted for an answer to the current question.  At a prompt, these are your choices:

	      y      Answer "yes" to the question.
	      n      Answer "no" to the question.
	      b      Backup  one  question, if you answered it incorrectly, or someone is watching you take the test, and you don't (or do) want to admit a different answer.
	      s      Print your current score on the test you are taking.
	      q      Quit the test, and print the current score.
	      ?      Print a help screen for the current prompt.

       At the end of the test, your score is printed out.  For most purity tests, lower scores denote more "experience" of the test material.

OPTIONS

       --version
	      print current version of purity-ng

       -h, --help
	      show the help message and exit

       -p     print the test without prompting for answers.

       -r     decrypt the test using the Rot 13 algorithm.

       To get a list of all purity tests available globally on your system, run purity-ng list.
