Krillion Scoring at a Glance
Each accepted Daily Dive response falls into a configured rarity tier. A tier contributes points to the seven-round total; every point represents 10 meters of depth. The original site says that the answer sets are curated from varied sources, with some rarity decisions involving editorial judgment.
The Current Rarity Tiers
Plankton
10An accepted, familiar first instinct.
Too Clever
15A supposedly obscure answer many people reach for.
Schooler
30A solid accepted answer beyond the first instinct.
Rare
60An uncommon accepted answer.
Deep Cut
85A particularly obscure accepted answer.
One in a Krillion
100The designated 100-point answer for a prompt.
How Points Become Dive Depth
Add the seven round scores, then multiply by 10. A 430-point plan represents 4,300 meters. A seven-round maximum of 700 points represents 7,000 meters.
Why Correct Answers Can Score Differently
The game's answer set assigns different values to different accepted responses. Being technically unusual does not guarantee the top tier; the original FAQ says that fun factor and a satisfying reveal matter for the designated Krillion answer.
Rarity vs Popularity
Do not treat these tiers as a live percentage of what today's players typed. The original FAQ describes several curation methods and manual review for some prompts.
Why an Answer May Be Missing

FAQ
Does typing faster add points?
The public score description centers on the accepted answer's tier. Check the original game for any current mode-specific changes.
Practice with a captured Daily Dive
Name a branded fast-food menu item (like the Big Mac). · 2026-10-23 · 2,351 recorded choices.
This example is generated from a verified Daily Dive capture. It shows why the question boundary and capture date matter more than how obscure a response sounds.
Reveal one captured example per available tier
Compare a familiar answer with a higher-value recorded response. Explain why each fits the exact request before trying to remember it. The tier is a property of this captured prompt-answer pair; it does not travel with the word to unrelated questions.

Compare point changes rather than rarity percentages
The table models replacing a 10-point Plankton round with another configured tier. The other six rounds remain the same. This makes the change in total and depth visible without pretending to know how frequently players submit an answer.
Plankton → Too Clever
+5 points · +50 meters
Plankton → Schooler
+20 points · +200 meters
Plankton → Rare
+50 points · +500 meters
Plankton → Deep Cut
+75 points · +750 meters
Plankton → One in a Krillion
+90 points · +900 meters
A worked seven-round plan
Consider 10, 15, 30, 60, 60, 85 and 100 points. They sum to 360 points, so the planned depth is 3,600 meters and the mean is about 51.4 points per completed round. Four rounds are Rare or higher, two are Deep Cut or higher, and one is a 100-point round. Enter the same combination in the calculator to compare another plan.
Changing the 10-point round to 60 points adds 50 points and 500 meters. Changing an 85-point response to the designated 100-point answer adds 15 points and 150 meters. Neither comparison guarantees an outcome for an unrecorded response; the source must actually assign that tier to the selected answer.
Check the capture before resolving a disagreement
A dated archive is a snapshot. Start with the prompt wording, capture date, mode and verification label. Direct public reveal captures and exact cross-checked historical archives are distinguished on the answer page. If a current live result differs, preserve both contexts instead of assuming the older score must be universal.
The checker can narrow a lookup to a specific date. Without one, it reports the latest recorded match. A no-match result carries no invented tier, and an ambiguous normalized match carries no arbitrary score. Contact us with the affected URL and public evidence if a stored record needs correction.
