:) Nitpicking: I use 1 ton = 1000 Kg, but world wide it's more complicated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton

Bah! Well spotted!

Another comment about the joke: I think in English the standard joke is "What's heavier, a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?" but here in Argentina the standard joke is "¿Qué pesa mas un kilo de plumas o un kilo de plomo" ("What's heavier, a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of plumber?".

> 4) Social Interaction. Let me share my "best run in 60 seconds" and then let others see if they can beat me. But please don't decide that you need to shove a popup in my face repeatedly to persuade me to do so. I don't have "socials" and have no intention of sharing anything. Being obnoxious about it is a "Dick Move" imo

I absolutely hate popups. Not going to be an issue. Good call.

Do you think you could add a feature that would count how many right and wrong answers you have in the current session?

IDK if it would need a cookie, just some JS variable to store right, wrong and to calculate your average percentage?

I quite enjoyed that. Few (hopefully helpful) bits of feedback: 1) Would be nicer if it wasn't just an endless list of question cards. Maybe have new ones sliding in on the right, with answered ones going off to the left. 2) Visually separate the question, your answer, the correct/incorrect answer and the explanation. 3) Scores! How many right, how many in a right in a row, how did your guess compare with others etc…

9) Coloured success/failure feedback, even just the words correct or wrong being coloured, it takes me a few moments to pick the result ouf of the new text being shown to me. This is why my bash scripts usually colour the output too.

Fun! Some feedback: 1. Spruce up the design to make seeing the answer more of a "fun" experience 2. Button to share an answer on social media 2. Button to send a question to a friend

2 and 3 now implemented. Just gone live. Hopefully working :-) Check the about page too.
