Hmm... this made me think that perhaps two-choice questions are better than true/false questions, because when all the questions have the same two possible answers T/F, there is a base rate of how often the answer "T" is correct which the player should account for. For real life questions with two possible answers like "Who is taller, Alex or Bob?", there is not really a well-known base rate.

Thanks!
