## Overview & Two-Tier Verification Methodology
Krillion is a web-based reverse-trivia daily challenge.
Players receive 7 daily prompts with a 25-second countdown per prompt.
Unlike traditional trivia games that reward common popular answers, Krillion awards depth points based on obscurity (up to 100 per prompt, 700 max, representing a descent to 7,000 meters in the ocean trench).

### Two-Tier Evaluation Architecture:
1. Tier 1 (Fact-Check Validity): Is the answer an objectively recognized entity meeting the prompt criteria? (e.g. For "Borders Germany", all 9 bordering countries are valid; Liechtenstein is invalid).
2. Tier 2 (Predicted Rarity Index): Evaluated via heuristic rarity modeling (top-of-mind linguistic frequency vs. long-tail obscure cataloging). Note: Scores represent an algorithmic model, not proprietary real-time player telemetry.

## Scoring Tiers (Predicted Model)
- Plankton (4–10 pts): The most common, obvious answers (e.g., Los Angeles for California city).
- Too Clever (8–15 pts): Overthought answers where many trivia players collide trying to sound smart (e.g., Sacramento, Pasadena).
- Schooler (16–30 pts): Mid-tier answers.
- Rare (32–60 pts): Model-predicted low-frequency candidates based on long-tail catalog obscurity.
- Deep Cut (64–85 pts): High-tier obscure knowledge.
- One in a Krillion (100 pts): The rarest legitimate answer that hits maximum ocean depth.
