The quiz is much deeper. It now draws on 456 sky photos instead of 31, so you can play far longer before a picture comes round again. You can also go past the ten main cloud types. Choose a level: Beginner stays on genera, Intermediate adds species such as Cumulus humilis, and Expert adds varieties such as undulatus. Thank you to the reader who asked for both.
