FIELD NOTES / FGS
Daily Numbers: make the next guess count.
You do not need to know the answer immediately. You need to learn something from each attempt.

Five questions, five chances each
Read the question, the units and the date before entering a number. A population measured in millions needs a different input from the same population measured in people. Each question allows five guesses, and an answer within 5% counts as a win.
After each guess, use the higher-or-lower message to narrow the range. Colour adds a sense of closeness; the words and arrows still tell you which direction to go.
Estimate the scale first
Start by deciding whether the answer is closer to tens, thousands or millions. A reasonable first estimate can be more useful than a precise-looking number with the wrong scale.
Once one guess is too low and another is too high, try a number between them. For example, if your two guesses bound the answer between 100 and 200 in the question’s units, 150 tests the middle. That is a strategy example, not a puzzle answer.
With only five attempts, use each piece of feedback. Repeating nearly the same guess without a reason spends a chance while learning very little.
What the answer means
Each answer is a dated observation with a source link. A figure can be correct for the year in the question without being today’s value. After the reveal, open the source if the result surprises you or you want the wider context.
The daily selection comes from the game’s question collection. A fresh daily set does not mean every underlying statistic was measured that morning.
When it resets
The five-question selection changes at midnight UTC. The countdown on the game shows the next reset. Historical mode lets you revisit available editions; progress stays attached to the edition you played.
