How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a famous shipwreck” — not generic advice.
Everyone remembers the headlines of history. The points are in the figures and events one chapter deeper.
Lead with Vasa. It's the kind of answer that makes other players say 'I knew that!' after the reveal — which is exactly why they didn't type it. Mary Rose works the same way if you want a second bullet in the chamber.
Watch out for Titanic. It's valid, but validity isn't the game — rarity is. Costa Concordia has the same problem: everyone knows it, so everyone types it, so it scores like everyone.
The middle of the bank tells the real story: USS Arizona lands in Rare while Titanic sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.
Rare answers travel in packs: if Endurance comes to mind, Andrea Doria and Mary Rose are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 12 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
