CFAR calibration games

I tried the game for a while... many of the questions are pretty hard IMO (especially the "which of these top-10 ranked things was ranked higher" ones), which makes it a bit difficult to learn to differentiate easy & hard questions.

Other calibration quizzes

I think that's necessary? You want to have questions you can answer at every credence band between 99% and 50%, and that implies questions you're only 60% sure of the answer of.
