| Abstract: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.20266 | |
| EusTrivia consists of 1,715 trivia questions from multiple online sources. 56.3\% of the questions are elementary level (grades 3-6), while the rest are considered challenging. A significant portion of the questions focus specifically on the Basque Country, its language and culture. Each multiple-choice question contains two, three or four choices (3.84 on average) and a single correct answer. Five areas of knowledge are covered: | |
| - **Humanities and Natural Sciences** (27.8%): This category encompasses questions about history, geography, biology, ecology and other social and natural sciences. | |
| - **Leisure and Art** (24.5%): This category includes questions on sports and athletes, performative and plastic arts and artists, architecture, cultural events, and related topics. | |
| - **Music** (16.0%): Here are grouped all the questions about music and musicians, both classical and contemporary. | |
| - **Language and Literature** (17.1%): This category is concerned with all kinds of literature productions and writers, as well as metalinguistic questions (e.g., definitions, synonyms, and word usage). | |
| - **Mathematics and ICT** (14.5%): This category covers mathematical problems and questions about ICT, as well as questions about people known for their contributions to these fields of knowledge. | |
