What Is the Super Quiz?
The Super Quiz is an ever-changing quiz featured in newspapers across the country to test readers’ knowledge. The quiz was originally created by Isaac Asimov and now has variations all over the world. Back in the day, the Super Quiz was even a board game, featuring card decks of trivia questions and score-keeping sheets.
Most Super Quizzes have a set theme, such as “Two Word Book Titles,” “Three-Letter Words,” and “Birds.” The quiz is broken up into three levels: freshman, graduate, and Ph.D. Each level has a different level of difficulty, with Ph.D. being the most difficult. For every question you get right in the freshman level, you earn 1 point. For every question correct in the graduate level, 2 points. For every question right in Ph.D., 3 points. The more points you have at the end of taking the quiz, the smarter you’re thought to be.
