Self-Referential Quiz (Puzzleship)
Rate itA multiple-choice quiz whose questions are all about its own answers.

Self-Referential Quiz is a quiz about itself. Questions ask how many answers are C, or what the answer to another question is, and only one set of answers makes every question true at once.
About Self-Referential Quiz (Puzzleship)
There is nothing to know in advance. Each question refers to the quiz's own answers, either counting them or pointing at a specific question, and your answers must make all of them true together. Most questions cannot be settled alone, which is what makes it a puzzle.
Questions that point at one specific other question are easier to handle than ones counting totals, and a question that points at itself often has only one consistent option. Assuming an answer and following it until something breaks is a fair method here, since a contradiction eliminates that option for good.
Puzzleship, run by Brainzil, LLC, publishes six quizzes of Self-Referential Quiz a day, graded from very easy to ultra hard. Each day's quizzes are numbered and dated, the same for every player, and go up at 13:00 UTC, although the page says midnight in your own time; earlier days stay playable in the archive. The site is free with ads, and a premium plan removes them.
