How to play
Read the day’s category and think of answers that fit it. Each accepted answer contributes a numerical value to your current attempt.
Use up to three answers to build a total of 100. The challenge is the combination, so an individually impressive value may still be awkward.
Watch the running total before choosing your next response. Passing 100 is a bust, rather than an improvement over a smaller total.
Use the available stand option when you prefer to keep your position. Practice is separate from the shared daily challenge on this edition.
How it differs from Krillion
Dartle and Krillion both ask you to retrieve names from categories. Dartle changes what makes a good answer: you need a useful number for a combination, not simply maximum rarity. Treating every prompt as an obscure-answer contest can work against its target of exactly 100.
A better way into your next round
Think in complements. After an early answer, work out the gap to 100 before searching your memory again. Keep a lower-value possibility in reserve if you have one. This is a planning exercise as much as a test of how many names you recognise.
Separate confidence about category membership from confidence about value. A valid answer may still be too large for your remaining gap. Use practice to learn the relationship between responses and their displayed values, then decide when another answer is worth the risk of busting.
