Question Quality and Corrections
A good trivia question has one intended answer, enough context to understand what is being asked, plausible choices, and an explanation that teaches more than the answer label. Trivia Tussle uses automated checks to find risks, but a warning is a review prompt—not permission to publish automatically.
Selection and Source Checks
Public samples are selected individually from a reviewed pool. The working record keeps the question, answer, explanation, category, difficulty, source title, source URL, source-check date, review status, and publication status. Time-sensitive facts require a newer check or are excluded.
Duplicates and Near-Duplicates
A validator normalizes prompts and answer sets to flag exact duplicates and close wording. Similarity does not always mean two questions are identical, so flagged pairs enter an editorial queue. Unresolved pairs are not used as public samples.
Ambiguity and Answer Fit
Review asks whether two choices could be defended, whether the period or region is clear, and whether words such as first, largest, current, or most need a date or qualifier. The fix may be a clearer prompt, a different choice set, a source update, or retirement.
Difficulty Labels
Easy questions use broad recognition. Medium questions connect two familiar facts or apply a rule. Hard questions use specific but still fair context. Difficulty is calibrated within a category; it is not a claim that every player will experience the item the same way.
Corrections and Retirement
A confirmed factual error is corrected at the source record and rechecked before reuse. An outdated or irreparably ambiguous item is retired. Existing result records may retain the historical question snapshot so a completed game does not silently change after the fact.
