I greatly appreciate your suggestions, munch. I really like it, but I worry that the game loses some of its mainstream appeal through that. I don't know, I have to look into this in more detail.

However, I did find a solution to bring the focus a bit away from the binary search/bisection.

Namely, the game now shows a hint after the second incorrect guess. For example the hint "The US covers 1.87% of the Earth's surface." is displayed for the question about what percentage of the Earth's surface is land.

This of course lets you, just as you wanted, rethink the original question once more now in light of new information.

How does the new information received through the hint impact your guess and assumptions? help
