Catamount's question bank has more than five thousand questions, each with a single numeric answer. These pages collect samples by category, with the answer and a short note for each.
Each question in the game is built the same way: a clear question, a number as the answer, and a note saying where the figure comes from or what it refers to. We use rounded, commonly cited figures, and where a number depends on the year or the source, the note says which one we used. The lists here are a sample, not the whole bank. Facts that are coming up in the daily climbs in the next few months are left out, so these pages do not spoil the game.
