Adelaide News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!ABC's Fifty-Fifty Challenge: Guess Right, Score Zero. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.

The ABC has a clever new quiz called the 5050 Challenge, where every question offers just two choices, one right, one wrong. You score one point for a correct pick, but lose one point for getting it wrong. That setup means you have a straight, even shot a guessing right each time. What makes it tricky is that scoring zero out of ten counts as a pass. No pressure to know everything. It's designed so random guesses won't tank your total below passing. Listeners are loving the twist, saying it feels fairer than standard quizzes, and cuts down on blind luck. It sparked chats online about how penalties change the game, making players think twice before guessing. You can dive in right now on the ABC site, and they've got a whole page of past quizzes to keep the fun going. Officials there say it's perfect for quick brain teasers during breaks. If you're up for testing your instincts without the stress, grab a pin, and give it a go zero, is the new hero. That's the story for today. Adelaide News Today, Driven by AI.
