I am addicted to my iPhone. Of course, this isn’t an isolated problem that affects only me. People are constantly looking at the things. They do it in class. They do it in meetings. They do it in restaurants. In a totally overlooked hazard, they do it while walking. Most of this time is spent on Facebook or Twitter or some other form of nonsense.
Fortunately, I have found a new iPhone addiction that actually teaches me something. It is a trivia app called Knowledge Trainer.
Play with this app and your brain will turn yellow.
It’s a basic trivia question game with a twist. Each lesson has ten questions, but they are within different levels of difficulty. It starts at Level 1. If you get it right, then the next question jumps to Level 2. Correct answers bump up the level, and wrong answers bring down the level. The tougher levels bring higher points. Simple, right?
At the moment, I am on Lesson 271 and have reached the Expert category, but that doesn’t mean that I have mastered all of the subjects. My strongest categories are History (66%), Film (65%) and Sports (64%). My weakest categories are Science (45%), Arts & Letters (50%) and Miscellaneous (51%). In the middle are Social Science (60%), Music (56%), Technology (56%) and Geography (54%).
My average Knowledge Quotient is 190.1 with my highest Knowledge Quotient score at 450.2.
There are also national rankings that I find interesting. This ranks the states by the average scores within their borders. The Top 10 are:
Wyoming (117)
Delaware (113)
Montana (112)
Idaho (111)
Iowa (109
Nebraska (108)
Texas (108)
Illinois (107)
Alabama (106)
Oregon (106)
My state, Tennessee, has an average of 103.
The Bottom 10 are:
South Dakota (94)
Rhode Island (96)
Nevada (97)
Florida (97)
North Dakota (99)
Hawaii (100)
California (100)
Indiana (100)
Louisiana (100)
Arizona (102)
Anyway, it’s a pretty cool app. So, if you want to be addicted to something that doesn’t make you go completely brain-dead, then you may want to check out Knowledge Trainer.

I’m really sorry you wrote about this, Rick. Because now I’m going to have to download the app too. I love things like this, trivia, quizzes, etc. There goes the last of my free time.
What Weebs said.
I’m on it all the time.
It’s a cool app full of info that I had never heard before. Get it, now. Pull up the score of your state.
Just got 10 out of 10, for a total of 618.5
That’s a heck of a score. Thanks for commenting and sharing.
