You will have 10 minutes to give the correct answer to 15 questions. The questions will be multiple-choice with one or several good answers.
The online test contains a maximum of 15 questions with 2 levels of difficulty and an associated score of 1 or 2 points, if answered correctly.
- 10 medium questions, 1 points
- 5 expert questions, 2 points
A wrong answer results in a score of 0, irrespective of the level of the question.
When you skip a question, you win nor lose points.
The total score will be the cumulative score of all questions answered within the set timeframe of 10 minutes.
The details of your score and your ranking will be released privately to you at the end of the Challenge so that the answers cannot be shared among players during the Challenge. The answers to the questions do not take into account any adjustments or innovations that were implemented after 18/10/2021.
