Hi,
does anybody know how many questions there are in the round-up?? It seems, that i always get the same questions...
I'm only wondering, as far as i understood the numbering of the questions, there has to be about 350 questions. Am i right???
thanx in advance
cheers

At the moment I believe there are 3 rounds with 12 questions in each and the questions are randomly chosen from a pool of 144.
While the questions are a random selection from the total, there is similar phrasing used throughout, and some of the questions seem like others (but are slightly different in subject or emphasis). It only seems</> like they're the same.
Or perhaps each time you play the same questions are randomly chosen... now what are the chances of that happening?

In the current version, there are 144 questions. Four banks of 36 questions. Question 222 is the 22nd question from bank #2.

How many times do you have to play Rules Roundup till you are sure that you have got all the questions?

Four rounds of three rounds, all in a row should do it.

Do I have to go through all the rounds? I mean if, I did a couple of rounds and then went back and did something else, I should be able to start where I left off.

No, it doesn't remember unless you go straight through. And you can't go straight through unless you miss at least one question per set of three rounds because of the current bug.
