Science & tech
The “Nobel Prize discoveries” quiz — Science & tech. It has 25 questions in five categories: The Invisible, Medical Breakthroughs, Life's Code, Materials at Work, Earth & Cosmos. Questions get harder as the points go up, from 100 to 500.
The 100- and 200-point questions are open here. The rest show only their first words, and there are no answers: all of that is in the game itself.
