How the bank is put together

The 850 questions are split across 19 categories of uneven depth, from 40 questions in the smallest to 49 in the largest. No category was padded to a round number and none was trimmed to match its neighbours.

Difficulty is assessed per question: 331 easy, 296 medium, 223 hard. Each category carries enough material for a warm-up, main rounds, and a closing round.

All 850 answers link to the page they were read from, 850 carry the supporting sentence, and 850 pin the exact revision checked. Open the source when a precise count, date, or measurement decides the point.
