How to play

Two trivia games a day, both played with chips. Every answer is a real number, from a birth year to a building’s height. You start each game with 100 chips.

Trivifecta

• Three races, each a question with six runners: “Which composer was born first?” The real numbers decide the finishing order.
• The bookie sets the odds by how famous each runner is, not by the answer. The household name is the favorite, and it doesn’t always win.
• Bet Win (first), Place (first or second), Show (top three), Exacta (the first two, in order) or Trifecta (the first three, in order). The harder the ticket, the more it pays. Place as many tickets as you like, then run the race.
• Your chips carry from one race to the next.

The Line

• Six things, each with a number to beat: “Mozart, year born, over or under 1760½?” Take a side on all six.
• Put chips on any line you’re sure of. Singles pay even money.
• Tap 🔗 to tie lines into a parlay. It doubles for every leg, so three legs pay 7-1, but one miss loses it all.

The goal: finish with more chips than you started with. A new card posts at midnight.

Numbers and fame come from Wikidata, which is free for anyone to use. Fame is how many Wikipedias have an article. Chips are only for play.
