Show HN: My retired dad and I made a daily, somewhat difficult, quiz (kviss.eu)

39 points by steinvakt2 2mo ago ↗ HN

My dad makes the questions, I made the site.

I think the genre and the level of difficulty is suited for HN. Hope you enjoy.

(I promise no AI-generated questions, they are all hand made!).

Nice job. I noticed you had a question related to the Hundred Years’ War. One of my favorite gotchas is to ask someone, “How long did the Hundred Years’ War last?”

Very nice! I got lucky guessing the hundred years war question, 3/3 on my first go.

I'll deffo check in from day to day.

Fun, I was only confident in one answer but got lucky with a 3/3.

3/3 quite a nice clean design. Was hoping for archives, but then noticed this post was from today.

Fun questions!

I like it. It would be nice to know why the other answers are wrong, if you get a question wrong. Maybe something like a short explanation under the wrong answers in a small font? I got the Hundred Years' War wrong, saying 1320. I had the right thought that it was England-France (judging from Wikipedia), but apparently there was a different conflict in 1320, and it would be nice to know which one, so that I can learn from the mistake.

It's nice, looks clean, and good questions. Wouldn't have minded having five rather than three!

Trick question: World's oldest university in continuous operation is different from the 'oldest'. Otherwise, the university of flint tools is the oldest.

Citations needed. I refuse to believe Pärt gets more airplay than Glass.

Why “kviss”?
