Some 2-choice questions on Rikaido split right down the middle. Others get the same answer nearly every time. We sorted all 596 questions on the English version by how evenly quiz creators answered them, using 1,653,840 answers in all.
Here's what's counted: when someone makes a quiz, the answer they pick for themselves on each question is added to that question's tally. Friends' guesses aren't included. Someone who makes several quizzes is counted each time, so these are numbers of answers, not people.

The questions that split 50/50
Out of 596 questions, 102 have a bigger side of 55% or less, and 15 round to 50/50. Here's a selection from all six categories:
Questions that split close to 50/50
| 2-choice question | Share of answers | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Photo before you eat? | Always 50% / Just eat 50% | 3,980 |
| Send "omw" from your bed? | Always 50% / Never 50% | 2,661 |
| Say "lol" with a straight face? | Every time 50% / I actually laugh 50% | 3,037 |
| Dislike someone in 5 seconds? | Instantly 50% / I give time 50% | 3,638 |
| Your keys? | Same spot always 50% / Where are they?! 50% | 2,687 |
| Getting ready takes? | Ten minutes 50% / A full hour 50% | 3,352 |
| Neighbors? | Say hi 50% / Avoid eye contact 50% | 2,895 |
| Move away or stay home? | New city 50% / Stay close 50% | 2,587 |
| Before a movie? | Watch trailers 50% / Go in blind 50% | 3,270 |
| Pet names near friends? | Say it loud 50% / Way too much 50% | 1,929 |
| Before you send a text? | Reread it 5x 50% / Send it raw 50% | 3,390 |
| Check their phone? | Tempting 50% / Never 50% | 3,620 |
| Say you have plans when you don't? | My go-to 50% / I'm honest 50% | 2,553 |
"Photo before you eat?" is about as even as a split gets (No. 1 of 596 for how evenly it splits): "Always" got 50% and "Just eat" 50%.
Several of the others, like "Dislike someone in 5 seconds?" and "Say you have plans when you don't?", are about everyday social life. Whichever answer you'd give, about as many answers went the other way, so neither side is the odd one out. Daily Life has its share too: "Your keys?" and "Getting ready takes?" split right down the middle.
Read the options closely, though. On "Check their phone?", the split is between "Tempting" and "Never". "Tempting" is about being tempted, not about actually doing it.
The questions where almost every answer is the same
At the other end, only 10 questions have one side at 90% or more, and several sit right on that line. Here are ten at or near it:
Questions where one side got about 90% or more
| 2-choice question | Share of answers | Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Shoes inside the house? | Shoes off 96% / Keep them on 4% | 3,003 |
| Phone case? | Case on 95% / No case 5% | 3,252 |
| In the car? | Music blasting 94% / Podcast on 6% | 3,348 |
| Chopsticks or fork for sushi? | Chopsticks 94% / Fork 6% | 3,681 |
| Surprises? | Love them 93% / Hate them 7% | 3,496 |
| Hangout size? | Big crowd 9% / Few close friends 91% | 4,114 |
| Package at the door? | Open it instantly 90% / Sits for a day 10% | 3,423 |
| Stranger on the plane? | Full convo 10% / Headphones on 90% | 3,197 |
| Sleep with socks on? | Socks on 10% / Bare feet 90% | 3,066 |
| Watching a game? | At a sports bar 10% / At home 90% | 2,215 |
"Shoes inside the house?" is No. 1 of 596 for how one-sided it is, with "Shoes off" at 96%. Daily Life accounts for 5 of the 10 at 90% or more, including the questions about shoes and phone cases.
Read these options exactly, too. "In the car?" offers only "Music blasting" or "Podcast on", so its 94% is a share of those two answers. It says nothing about how many people drive in silence.
"Surprises?" goes to "Love them" at 93%. Both options are strong and there's nothing in between, so for someone who only mildly likes surprises, the closer option is "Love them". The wording might be part of why it leans so far.
Category by category
Here's how many close splits (bigger side 55% or less) and near-unanimous questions (90% or more) each category has:
- Food (100 questions): 8 close splits, 1 near-unanimous
- Love (100 questions): 14 close splits, 0 near-unanimous
- Fun & Sports (100 questions): 15 close splits, 2 near-unanimous
- Real Talk (100 questions): 24 close splits, 0 near-unanimous
- Personality (99 questions): 23 close splits, 2 near-unanimous
- Daily Life (97 questions): 18 close splits, 5 near-unanimous
In this count, Real Talk and Personality have many more close splits than Food, and Daily Life has plenty of both. In Daily Life, the questions about shoes and phone cases get nearly the same answer every time, while the one about where your keys go splits down the middle. Why some habits split and others don't, the data can't say.
Even with few or no questions at 90% or more, Love and Real Talk still have strongly one-sided ones. In Love, "Date a friend's ex?" is No. 1 of 100 for how one-sided it is, with "Never ever" at 89%. In Real Talk, "Talk about a friend to a friend?" is No. 1 of 100, with "Obviously" at 88%.
This table pairs an even split with a one-sided question from each category:

When you're the one guessing
How evenly a question splits changes how much the popular answer can help you when it comes up in a quiz you're taking:
- If a question that splits close to 50/50 comes up: betting on the popular answer is about as good as a coin toss, because each side got roughly as many answers. That doesn't make it unguessable. It's where what you know about your friend has to do the work.
- If a question where one side got 90% or more comes up: the popular side will usually be right. If it isn't, you've learned that your friend is in the small minority, which is fun to find out.
- Either way, one question right or wrong doesn't show how well someone knows you.
Which questions appear is up to chance. Each quiz draws its questions at random within each category, and the creator can only swap a question for another random one from the same category, or choose the Love edition. For how that works, see our guide to making a quiz, and for what a final score means, see What Score Means a Friend Really Knows You?
You can also see every question's current split, category by category, on the Everyone's answers page. Its numbers are live, so they may differ a little from this article's.
