Show HN: My retired dad and I made a daily, somewhat difficult, quiz

My dad makes the questions, I made the site.

I think the genre and the level of difficulty is suited for HN. Hope you enjoy.

(I promise no AI-generated questions, they are all hand made!).

I like it. It would be nice to know why the other answers are wrong, if you get a question wrong. Maybe something like a short explanation under the wrong answers in a small font? I got the Hundred Years' War wrong, saying 1320. I had the right thought that it was England-France (judging from Wikipedia), but apparently there was a different conflict in 1320, and it would be nice to know which one, so that I can learn from the mistake.

Definitely something we will consider!

Nice job. I noticed you had a question related to the Hundred Years’ War. One of my favorite gotchas is to ask someone, “How long did the Hundred Years’ War last?”

follow up with "how long did the thirty years war last

That's the one I missed. I recall it was around 1300-1400... I guessed the wrong one. But 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Fun, I was only confident in one answer but got lucky with a 3/3.

3/3 quite a nice clean design. Was hoping for archives, but then noticed this post was from today.

Its been running for some months. New questions every day of course. Sometimes related to the season. Such as Easter questions during Easter. Glad you enjoyed
