How do you determine the winner?
Points are scored based on accuracy, response time and accuracy streak. For example, all questions offer 1000 points if you respond correctly in under 0.5 seconds. Points for correct answer reduces based on response time. Also, +100 points is awarded for each consecutive correct answer. This will cap on the 5th answer streak, awarding no more than 500 pts per answer streak. You will lose your streak after an incorrect answer and must build it back up.
