In a real match you’d have ten seconds for each, and faster right answers score more.

How a Authors match works

  1. Seven rounds. The same seven Authors questions for you and your opponent.
  2. Ten seconds each. A right answer in two seconds scores 20; at the buzzer, 11.
  3. The last round counts double. It’s never over until it’s over.

Your Authors ranking is its own: climb it without your other topics dragging you down.
