Protect your lives as difficulty rises
Survival gives you three lives and a run of up to thirty questions. A wrong answer removes a life, so a fast guess can cost more than a short pause. Use the early questions to settle into a rhythm, then slow down when the wording or topic becomes less familiar.
Worked example: eliminate an impossible option
If a question asks for a prime number and the choices are 8, 9, 11 and 15, three options can be eliminated by finding a divisor other than 1 and themselves. Only 11 remains. You do not need to know every answer immediately if you can rule out the alternatives for sound reasons.
Make the next run more useful
A correct streak adds a scoring bonus, but protecting the next life is still useful when you are uncertain. Read the feedback to understand a missed answer before continuing. After the run, choose a topic quiz for the subjects that ended your streak. Survival is an Anytime game and does not count towards the Daily Brain Score or Daily streak.
