Fair enough. I just felt like the website was talking down to me since the first quiz question was asking me to do some simple arithmetic and pick the correct answer.
(and later on there are yes/no quiz questions like “Is AMF likely to be helping the world?”, “Are PlayPumps effective?” etc)
Kind of reminded me of the compulsory “Value Education” class we had at my high school for a while—I didn’t disagree with the content and probably would have even verbally said that something like that class should have existed but in practice, I just ended up skipping it to read something fun and more challenging instead. So maybe I’m biased since it has a similar aesthetic to the workbooks we had for that class.
I think it’s a tradeoff between an easier question to create a success spiral, and a challenging question to spark curiosity. But you might be right that the first question is a bit too easy though – we did also get similar feedback on this question recently.
I don’t think the website looks that young tbh
