How the crowd plays it

"Tiger Woods" is what this prompt harvests from almost everyone — that reliability is what makes rarity measurable. Even "Jack Nicklaus", the connoisseur's decoy, is banked at just 15 points: the mirror has seen it a thousand times.

The deep water of this prompt belongs to answers like "Phil Mickelson" (85). Rarer still is "Arnold Palmer", the One in a Noillirk gem: find it under a 25-second clock and a single prompt has carried you a full kilometre down.

Playing this prompt backwards

When this question surfaces in a dive, your 25 seconds are best spent in reverse: first, name the Plankton answer silently and let it go; second, refuse the Too Clever answer unless the clock is dying; third, search your second page — the runner-up, the older one, the one from the smaller place. In sports, that means remembering that think of the highlight reel backwards — not the winning goal, but the tournament it came from, the referee, the host city, the losing finalist. Depth in sports is mostly memory of the undercard.

This prompt appears in the daily rotation, in Unlimited mode and — drilled on its own category — in the Sports pack. Its full answer bank is also published whenever its day closes, in the archive.
