I don't know if this is right forum to post this in, and hope it hasn't already been covered. I was wondering how many quizzes need to be played and how many correct answers before the stats go up? Like if you have 60% how many correct answers to get a higher percentage? Seems that it floats up and down. It will be ( for example) 62% and than back down to 60 or 61% Thanks in advance.

It depends on how many quizzes/questions you've played.

Yes, it's just simple math.

If you've taken 100 questions worth of quizzes (since quizzes can have from 5-25 questions) and gotten 60%, you've answered 60 questions correctly.

Take another 10-question quiz and get them all right, you've cumulatively answered 70/110, which is 63.6%.

If you've taken 1000 questions and gotten 60%, getting 10/10 on your next quiz will boost you to only 610/1010, which is 60.4%.

So once someone has taken 100 quizzes (roughly 1000 questions), they'd need to get a perfect score on at least two quizzes to boost their average by one percentage point, factoring in rounding.

As ladymacb29 and d2407 said, it all depends on the number of quizzes you have played. It would take me a lot longer to bump up one percentage point than it would for someone who is new. I have answered over 180,000 questions on the site and played almost 13,000 quizzes.
