The problem is that you don't get those 3 points if the opponent rushed the multi-choice and got it right. Denying your opponents points is a valid strategy considering the goal is simply to have the most points after 10 questions. Even if I face a very easy question, pressing multi-choice and picking the correct answer is preferable to typing the answer in and possibly being too slow.
You could possibly solve that by making the multi-choice feature buttons use 1 second to work. Basically, I click banana, and 1 second after that the server actually acknowledged my answer.
Fair point. Note taken. I'm hoping once they're more questions and more players online there'll be an option to play with only alternatives or only typed ones. Especially since on an iphone for example it's hard to type as fast as you can on a desktop computer.
