Difficulty that adapts to you
Every question and every player carries an ELO rating, the same system chess uses. Answer correctly and you face harder questions; miss a few and the quiz eases off. That keeps practice in the productive zone - challenging enough to learn from, never so hard it stops being useful.
Each answer shows an instant explanation of what was right and wrong, so a quiz session doubles as a study session.
