Audio Quiz
The Audio Quiz is a quiz you play with your ears: press play, listen to a short clip and pick the right answer among four. Sometimes it's a sound, like an animal call or an engine; sometimes a famous piece of music; sometimes a narrator describing a film, a place or a person without ever naming it. Speed counts: answer correctly within 4 seconds of the end of the clip for a 10. The Bomb removes a wrong answer for a one-point penalty, and the Atomic Bomb removes two, with no penalty.
