Krillion by the Numbers: 302 Prompts, 3,396 Answers

The bank covers eight categories, and no category dominates: geography, food, movies, sports, science, and animals hold 38 prompts each, while music and history hold 37 each. That balance is deliberate in effect — a daily dive of seven prompts can draw from anywhere, so a player who only knows one shelf stays shallow everywhere else.

Every prompt carries between 7 and 14 banked answers, averaging 11.25 across the bank. The tier sizes show where the bank's weight sits: the top three tiers — One in a Krillion, Deep Cut, and Rare — hold 602, 600, and 600 answers, while Schooler holds 586, Too Clever 493, and Plankton 515. Every one of the 302 prompts has at least one answer at the 100-point top tier.

Depth is points multiplied by ten metres — no other conversion, no bonus. A dive is seven prompts, each worth 10 to 100 points, so a dive's range runs from 70 points (700 metres, all Plankton) to 700 points (7,000 metres, all One in a Krillion). The daily dive gives 25 seconds per prompt, about five minutes per dive, and resets at midnight Eastern.

That arithmetic is also why the top tier matters so much: swapping one Plankton answer (10 points, 100 metres) for one Krillion answer (100 points, 1,000 metres) is worth 900 metres on a single prompt — more than an entire all-Plankton dive's depth gap in one move.

Geography's gem shelf includes Bosnia and Herzegovina for the letter-Z country prompt, where the crowd stops at Zambia. Food's includes Époisses for French cheese, where the crowd stops at Brie. Movies' includes Captain Phillips for Tom Hanks films, where the crowd stops at Forrest Gump. Sports' includes Modern Pentathlon for Summer Olympic sports, where the crowd stops at Swimming.

Music's includes Rush for famous rock bands, where the crowd stops at The Beatles. Science's includes Eris for solar-system planets, where the crowd stops at Mars. Animals' includes the Kakapo for flightless birds, where the crowd stops at Ostrich. History's includes the Kingdom of Kush for ancient civilizations, where the crowd stops at Egypt.

A bank of 3,396 answers says nothing about how many people play, how deep they dive, or which answers win most often — and this page claims none of that. Player counts, traffic figures, and results data are not published on this site, so any such number attributed to Dive Krillion should be treated as unverified unless the site itself publishes it.

What the numbers do support is practice: with 302 prompts and a known tier ladder, unlimited practice and the category packs let any player test rarity instincts against a fixed, checkable bank. That checkability — every answer above can be found on its prompt page — is the point of publishing the counts at all.
