A timed financial literacy quiz: sixty seconds for the whole round, a rising multiplier for answers in a row, and a four-second penalty that stops the clock and shows you the right answer first.
The 60-Second Finance Quiz gives you one minute for the whole round rather than a timer per question, so how far you get is decided by how quickly you can read and judge. Questions rotate through five areas — spending, scams, borrowing and tax, the economy, investing — and start with an easy one from each. There is no fixed number of questions and no sign-up; a round takes a little over a minute including the time you spend reading explanations.
Press start, wait out the three-two-one, then tap a choice or press 1, 2 or 3. Tab moves focus and Enter or Space selects. A freshly dealt question ignores input for six tenths of a second so a burst of taps cannot carry over from the previous screen. After a wrong answer the correct answer and one line of why stay on screen until you press continue — nothing advances on its own and there is no timeout. Hiding the page stops the clock; you come back to a continue button.
A correct answer is worth 100 base points, multiplied by the question's weight and by your current multiplier, rounded to the nearest whole number. Easier questions weigh 1 and harder ones 1.3. Each answer in a row adds 0.5 to the multiplier — one and a half times on the second, two on the third, two and a half on the fourth, three from the fifth onwards. A wrong answer scores nothing, resets the streak to one times, and takes four seconds off the clock. Answering faster never scores more: speed only buys you more questions, never better ones.
The round ends when the clock reaches zero or the deck runs out, and the question on screen at zero is not judged, scored or counted. The grade needs both a number of right answers and an accuracy: S is ten right at ninety percent, A is eight right at eighty percent, B is six right at sixty-five percent, C is any three right, and anything below that is D. Requiring both stops two right answers from reading as a perfect round. There is no pass mark, and the result is a practice snapshot rather than an assessment of anyone.
Reloading returns you to the exact screen you left — the question you were reading, the beat right after a correct answer, or the card holding the answer you missed — with the clock stopped where it was and your answers, score and streak carried over. Play again deals a new round, choosing between eight candidate deals to repeat as little as possible, while a round opened from a shared link replays that same deal. Progress and your best score live in this browser only and cannot be recovered after clearing site data or moving to another device.
English and Chinese are written separately rather than translated. Every question here is a universal concept — unit price, compound growth, diversification — and every percentage or price is an assumption written into the question rather than a reading of any real market; figures that only hold in one country are deliberately left to the regional quiz. Because the two banks line up question for question, a shared round link deals the same questions in either language.
Divide price by quantity before comparing packs. A bigger box is not automatically cheaper per gram, and the tag price hides which one is.

A price that rises 20% and then falls 20% lands below where it started, because the fall is applied to the raised number.

Pressure to act within minutes, a link in a message you did not expect, a request for a one-time code, a promise of high return with no risk, or an irreversible payment method.

Only the income above a threshold pays the higher rate, so crossing a bracket never leaves you with less than before.
Source: Progressive brackets; rates stated in the question
Return minus inflation is what your money actually gained. Two percent interest against three percent inflation is a loss that never appears on a statement.
Source: Real ≈ nominal − inflation, rates stated in the question
Seventy-two divided by the yearly rate estimates the years to double. It is an approximation, closest between four and ten percent.

Spreading holdings removes the risk of one name failing, not the risk of the whole market falling. Ten names from one industry fall together.

A yearly percentage fee is charged on a growing balance, so its effect compounds against you over a long horizon.

It is a timed money quiz where the whole round gets one minute instead of each question getting its own timer. Questions arrive one a screen with three choices, right answers in a row raise a multiplier, and a wrong answer stops the clock, shows you the answer and costs four seconds.
That depends entirely on how fast you read, which is the point of the format, so this page does not quote a number. The deck holds thirty-five questions as a safety margin and almost nobody reaches the end of it; what decides your grade is how many you got right, not how many you saw.
It is free, with no account, no download and no email. It runs in the browser, and you never type a figure of your own — every question is three choices, so there is no field for a salary, a balance or a debt.
The clock stops immediately, the correct answer and a one-line explanation appear, and four seconds come off your remaining time. The card waits for you to press continue, with no timeout, so reading the explanation costs you nothing beyond the fixed penalty.
The bands need both volume and accuracy: S is ten right at ninety percent, A is eight right at eighty, B is six right at sixty-five, and three right anywhere earns a C. Needing both is deliberate — answering two questions perfectly is not a better round than answering ten with one slip.
Divide the price by the quantity and compare what one unit costs, not what one pack costs. A bigger box only wins if its price per gram is lower, and a shelf tag rarely says which one that is — which is why the round asks it as a snap judgement rather than as arithmetic.
Five signals do most of the work: pressure to act within minutes, a link in a message you were not expecting, a request for a one-time code, a promise of high return with no risk, and a payment method that cannot be reversed. One of them is reason enough to stop and check through a number you already had.
Short quiz-style browser games are the practical answer: a round takes a minute or two, needs no signup, and a wrong answer returns the right one with an explanation instead of just a cross. This one puts one clock over the whole round; the other games on MoneyGym run a fixed number of questions instead, so the round ends when the questions do.
