Krillion scoring: the six rarity tiers
| Tier | Score | Depth | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| One in a Krillion | +100 | 1,000 m | The rarest valid answer on the board. |
| Deep Cut | +85 | 850 m | Obscure but legitimate — specialist knowledge. |
| Rare | +60 | 600 m | Clearly correct, clearly uncommon. |
| Schooler | +30 | 300 m | A solid textbook answer. |
| Too Clever | +15 | 150 m | Technically valid, judged as a stretch. |
| Plankton | +10 | 100 m | The most common valid answers. |
