Exactly five years ago, “A Robot with a Martenitsa”—named after the red-and-white thread Bulgarians wear at the start of March—came out as the very first piece on the Digital Stories site! Since then, one or two long texts have appeared every week, sketching the story of Digital Stories itself.
But a birthday is a birthday! Kind words, good wishes and presents are all welcome. My modest gift is a fun and unexpected quiz with prizes. Take on 30 questions and you'll enter the draw for 10 books connected, one way or another, with the story of this venture. The quiz takes no more than 10 minutes, so give it a go! And afterward, its remarkably curious backstory awaits you…
Did you make it? If it doesn't work out the first time, you can try again. At the end, if you succeed, you'll receive a short code showing that you've reached the required result. To enter the prize draw, type it in below together with your email by March 25, 2026. Each email address will be entered in the prize draw only once.
(The winners have already been drawn and have received an email; you can still fill in the form just for fun or to sign up for the mailing list.)
So what kind of quiz is this? As I said—a birthday is a birthday. This time I decided to take a break myself and let artificial intelligence do all the work. ChatGPT was the one who came up with the concept of the quiz as an adventure, and Claude Code was the assistant who created the questions, based on every article published on the site, and wrote the code for the quiz itself. My own interventions were limited solely to requesting small improvements. Impressive, wouldn't you say?
If the quiz has filled you with enthusiasm to move on to other mental challenges, there's now a place to find them online. We're waiting for you in Quizza too—the meaningful, ambitious, worthy sequel to The Floor.
And the birthday of Digital Stories goes on, just like the story of this small, personal and optimistic venture. Support it—it's worth it! Every kind word, every share, every story is an invaluable help.
And if you have ideas for the next Digital Stories, this is where they belong, and once again a symbolic prize awaits you:
