A good question for the game should satisfy quit strict conditions:
- it should be interesting (non-trivial fact, surprising relations, etc.)
- correct (no erroneous facts or statements) and supported by readily-available information sources
- allow only for a single answer
- this single answer should be deducible from the question itself and from reasonably public knowledge (it can rely on a knowledge of a rare fact, but, e.g., should not require knowledge of what is written in a particular encyclopedia at a particular page)
- easy for understanding while being read out; worded unambigiously
- concise
Members of our team usually come up with their ideas of interesting questions. However, the questions require extensive editing and proofing before being presented to the public. Moreover, our experience shows that questions benefit greatly from joint editing. I thought a wiki could help in it.
Questions should be kept secret before they are used in a game (otherwise somebody could come prepared and it would be unfair in competition).
