Instructions Competition Mode: For each correct answer, you get points based on how many other players get the question wrong. Your score is the sum of all correct answers.

Example: If you get a question correct that only 10% of all players get correct, you get 90 points for that question.

You can choose 5 questions to "Double". If you get it correct, your score is doubled for that question.

TIP: Easy questions aren't usually worth doubling since you are likely doubling a small number of points. You're better off doubling the hardest questions that you think you have correct (80 points possibly doubled is a lot better than 10 points definitely doubled).

You will not lose points for incorrect answers, so feel free to guess.

You can enter up to three group names, separated by commas, in the "Private Group" input. After you submit, when you view your results you can see the leaderboards for just your group(s). You will also get links you can share with others so they can play in those groups.
Feel free to create your own group name, such as your company or town, and pass the links along to friends, family, and coworkers.

Good luck!     
 
Question #20: Language: Der Hamsterkauf, which has showed up in the news a lot this year in relation to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, is a German word used to describe what phenomenon? In Germany it is often used in relation to the events preceding long holiday weekends.

Answer: panic buying
Used to describe the hoarding that occurs during times of widespread fear or concern, it comes from the verb hamstern, meaning "to hoard or panic buy", since hamsters are known for filling their cheeks with food. It is often used in Germany to describe shopping on Saturday nights prior to Sundays in which supermarkets will remain closed.
