Whoops. Stuff has happened, let me tell you. First, a simpler version of Trivia Training was introduced, Trivia Training: Lists. In this leaner method, information is only presented in the form of questions and answers. There is no subject study page. Learn by getting it wrong, then right, then maybe wrong again, and eventually right over and over again. Scientists agree: mindless repetition is better than every other learning method combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trivia Training: Lists contains a ton of new topics. The original Trivia Training is now called Trivia Training: Subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Horizontal Ad with Label -->\n<div style=\"position: relative; margin: 1rem 0;\">\n  <div style=\"text-align: center; color: #666; font-size: 0.8rem; margin-bottom: 0; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 1px;\">Advertisement<\/div>\n  <script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2477152782342215\"\n       crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n  <!-- ResponsiveHorizontal -->\n  <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n       style=\"display:block\"\n       data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2477152782342215\"\n       data-ad-slot=\"6319398709\"\n       data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n       data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n  <script>\n       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n  <\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be asking, &#8220;Is that it? Is that all you have to show for eleven months of tireless research and development?&#8221; Not by a long shot. We&#8217;ve also added a second drilling method called &#8220;Cycle 5&#8221;. It&#8217;s just like the original drilling method, except that all questions are repeated in cycles of five. That means that after you answer a question right or wrong, it will be repeated five questions later. This is even more mindless repetition, and it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also a new AI-adjacent trivia training method that we the faculty of Bzzwords University developed. More on that soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bzzwords.com\/flotsam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bee_march-1024x683.png\" alt=\"Bees evolve from brutes to intellectuals\" class=\"wp-image-170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bzzwords.com\/flotsam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bee_march-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.bzzwords.com\/flotsam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bee_march-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bzzwords.com\/flotsam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bee_march-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bzzwords.com\/flotsam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bee_march-620x413.png 620w, https:\/\/blogs.bzzwords.com\/flotsam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bee_march.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image: Apparently, honeybees evolved clothing very late in the game.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Has it really been eleven months since the last Bzzwords University update?
