How to play

1Read the statement that appears in each of the 8 rounds.
2Stake your confidence (low, medium or high), which sets the points on the line (+1/-1, +2/-2, +3/-3).
3Call it: is it Fact or Myth?
4A right answer pays your stake, a wrong one costs it; at the end, try to beat the target score.

Tips to score higher

Only stake high when you are genuinely sure: a wrong high bet costs you 3 points at once.
A run of correct answers at medium or high confidence earns a hot hand bonus that grows with the streak.
To win you need a net-positive score (12 points), so always betting low is not enough; you have to risk it when you know.
