The United States military ranks form a hierarchical structure that signifies authority and responsibility across the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. In The Quiz we use the abbreviations (A) for Army, (AF) for Air Force, (N) for Navy and (MC) for Marine Corps, when necessary. The ranks are divided into enlisted personnel and officers, each with distinct responsibilities. Enlisted ranks range from Private to Sergeant Major, reflecting increasing levels of experience and leadership. Officers, on the other hand, progress from Second Lieutenant to General or Admiral, with each rank denoting greater command and strategic responsibilities.
The iconic system includes various insignia, badges, and uniform elements to visually represent the wearer's rank. Commissioned officers, marked by gold or silver insignia, hold leadership and managerial roles, while enlisted personnel, distinguished by chevrons and stripes, carry out operational tasks. The U.S. military's rank structure ensures a clear chain of command, facilitating effective communication and decision-making in the defense of the nation's interests.

The 1-, 2- and 3-Minute Modes are pretty self-explanatory. Once you select any of those and start the Quiz you will have either 1, 2 or 3 minutes of play time to get as many answers correct as possible. The Quiz ends when the clock reaches zero.
The Stacker Mode lets you start with 15 seconds on the clock. A correct answer will add 4 seconds to your time, while an incorrect answer will take off 6 seconds. The Quiz ends when the clock reaches zero.
The Sudden Death Mode lets you start with 15 seconds on the clock. A correct answer will reset it back to 15 seconds, an incorrect one will end the Quiz immediately, regardless of how much time is left on the clock. The Quiz also ends when the clock reaches zero.
Challenges are Quizzes played in Groups of 2 to 5 Players. Anyone can create a Challenge for any Quiz and then invite others to join and compete against each other. Once a Challenge is full and all Players have played, the final results will be shown. If a Challenge doesn’t fill, it ends after 48 hours. In either case you will receive a result message for any Challenge that you join. While a Challenge is in progress, Players can only see their own Score, not that of other Players.
The Leaderboard calculates the weighted average of all your best High Scores. In this context “weighted” means that we value the High Scores for a 1-Minute Mode different from a 2-Minute Mode and a 3-Minute Mode. The reason is – simply put – that a player who plays the 2-Minute Mode of a Quiz will generally get double the points total at the end of that Quiz compared to if he would play the 1-Minute Mode. Double the time (2-Minute Mode) generally means double the points, at least roughly. In order to not favor players who only play the 3-Minute Mode (triple the point potential) we use weighted averages to calculate your Leaderboard ranking.
Here is an example of that weighted average: Let’s assume you play the Tennis Player Quiz in all 5 Modes. In the 1-Minute Mode your High Score is 1000 points, in the 2-Minute Mode you reach a High Score of 2500 points and in the 3-Minute Mode you get 6000 points. You also play the Stacker Mode and get 2000 points and then finally the Sudden Death Mode with 1000 points. The weighted average then goes as follows: 1000 + (2500 / 2) + (6000 / 3) + 2000 + 1000 = 7125. That final number (7125), your weighted average High Score for all 5 Modes in the Tennis Player Quiz, will then be added to your Leaderboard ranking.
A few thoughts: Players who play more Quizzes and Quiz Modes will be rewarded, since they simply increase their chance of getting more High Scores. However, players who are very smart and simply better than others will generally still have an edge over players who simply play a lot (but are not very good). Yet, even if you are the most brilliant Quiz player ever but only play a single Quiz you will probably be overtaken by others in the Leaderboard ranking over time, because – well – they will eventually get more points by playing other Quizzes too.
A very simple example would be player A playing 1 Quiz and getting a great High Score of 20000 points (congratulations!), while player B plays several Quizzes (let’s say 20) and gets an average High Score of 1500 (not too shabby) for each of those. Player B would then be ranked higher in the Leaderboard with 30000 points.
Challenge Ranking shows a list of Players based on their skill and strength in the Challenge Mode (Challenges are Quizzes played in groups of 2 to 5 Players). Challenge Points are awarded depending on how well you perform.
All Points are awarded at the end of a Challenge. A Challenge ends when a group is full and all Players have played, or when it expires, whichever occurs first.
When you create or join a Challenge but do not play, you will lose 1 point. We do this so that Players don’t randomly create or join Challenges and then don’t play them (which would somewhat ruin the Challenge for the rest of the Players).
When you create or join and play a Challenge, you are awarded 1 point.
You get additional points when you beat Players in a Challenge. For every Player that you beat, you get 1 additional point. Thus, the most points you can get is 5, which would occur in a group of 5 Players. By winning that group, you have beaten 4 other Players (+4 points) and you will also receive 1 point for joining and playing that Challenge.
