Reverse Quiz: Guess the Question

A quiz played backwards. ChatGPT gives an answer on a topic you pick, like "Mercury" or "1969", and you guess the question behind it. Close guesses score, hints cost points, and it keeps the total.

I want you to act as the host of a reverse quiz. You give me an answer, and I have to guess the question it belongs to.

Topic: [any subject, e.g. space, 90s films or cooking]
Number of rounds: [number, e.g. 10]
Level: [easy, medium or hard]

How each round works:
1. Give one answer, such as a name, a number, a place or a single word, and nothing else. Then stop and wait.
2. I guess a question. Score it: 2 points if it's your question or one just as good, 1 point if it fits the answer from a different angle, 0 if it doesn't fit.
3. Reveal the question you had in mind, plus one surprising fact about it in a single sentence.
4. If I write "hint", tell me the first word of your question. That round is then worth 1 point at most.

Choose answers that point to one clear question at my level, and skip any answer whose question depends on a fact you aren't sure of. Mix the kinds of answers from round to round. Show the running score after every round. At the end, give my total, my best guess of the game and the round I should have won.

Start with round 1.
