The "Too Clever" Collision Radar
Why do seemingly obscure answers only grant 15 points? Understanding the psychology behind statistical answer clustering.
⚠️ Anatomy of the Collision Trap
In reverse-trivia games, when thousands of players intentionally overthink a prompt to avoid the obvious choice (e.g., choosing Sacramento instead of Los Angeles for California), they frequently congregate on the exact same secondary candidate. This cluster is classified in the Too Clever tier (~15 points).
- Prompt: California City
- Player Thought: "Everyone will say LA or SF! I'll be smart and say Sacramento or Pasadena!"
- Result: Thousands of players had that same secondary thought. STATISTICAL COLLISION!
- Prompt: California City
- Winning Strategy: Pick small, officially incorporated agricultural, historic, or mountain municipalities: Ojai, Weed, Yreka.
- Result: Extremely low collision probability. 100 METERS DIVE!

How Our Scoring Engine Works
Krillion.click employs an open two-tier validation framework to ensure answer accuracy and fair depth calculation:
Fact-Check Validity Verification
Every candidate response is verified against authoritative encyclopedic, geographical, biological, or historical records. Answers that fail factual criteria (such as asserting non-members or non-bordering nations) are declared invalid.
Heuristic Rarity Index (Predicted Model)
Because official daily telemetry is proprietary to original game servers, our rarity tiers represent an algorithmic model based on top-of-mind linguistic frequency, Wikipedia pageview distribution, and long-tail obscurity ranking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Krillion (The Daily Dive)?
Krillion is a web-based reverse-trivia daily game. Every day, players receive the same 7 prompts and have 25 seconds per prompt to type in a valid answer. Points correspond to depth in meters: common answers yield 4–10 points, while rare, esoteric answers grant up to 100 points, descending your submarine up to 7,000 meters into the ocean trench floor.
How does typo tolerance work in Krillion Unlimited?
In high-pressure 25-second countdowns, typing a 9-letter biological or geographical name often leads to an accidental slip. In our simulator, an intelligent Levenshtein fuzzy matcher detects single-letter slips and offers instant correction without unfair zero-point penalties.
