Can I still play the Trivia Five puzzle from October 14, 2026?

Yes. Every puzzle stays playable in the archive, so you can open puzzle #72 and solve it yourself at any time.

How many questions are there each day?

Five, always from five different categories, ordered from easiest to hardest. A typical day is roughly two easy questions, two medium and one hard, so a full sweep is genuinely difficult.

Will I ever see the same question twice?

Not until the whole bank has been used. Questions are dealt in cycles: every question in the bank appears exactly once per cycle before any of them can come round again, which is well over two months of daily play.

Is the correct answer always in the same position?

No. The four options are reshuffled for each date, and the correct answer is tracked to its new position, so its slot varies from day to day and question to question. There is no positional pattern to exploit.
