Sweep the whole academic catalogue rather than the famous departments: think of the long tail of named degree programmes that exist at one or two institutions only. Only real, formally conferred degree titles count; broad umbrella subjects are accepted but pay little, while course modules, job titles and invented programmes do not qualify.

How to approach it

Treat the answer as a breadth test rather than a knowledge test: the scorer rewards distance from the middle of the distribution, so the goal is to generate volume first and refine second. Work through the academic map systematically, by faculty, then by department, then by the sub-specialisms inside each department, and keep a running list without judging entries. When a field dries up, mine the seams between disciplines, the professional and clinical training routes, and the titles that attach a place, a material or a technique to a discipline. Only after you have a long list should you cut the weakest entries. Save your single boldest, most niche pick for the moment you feel the list is running dry, because that is where the points live.

Get a hint

Begin with the widest possible sweep of post-secondary study: every faculty, school and department that confers a formal degree, and let the list run far past the handful of titles everyone knows.

A little more

Once the obvious fields are exhausted, push into the hybrid and vocational corners: programmes that fuse two disciplines into a single named degree, or that prepare students for one licensed trade.

One step further

Now go micro: titles tied to a single material, technique, instrument, region, species, patient group or single campus, often only a few words long and offered by just one institution.

Why these answers count

The scoring here rewards specificity, and the reveal shows it plainly. Of the recorded answers, 4298 cleared sixty points, but only one reached the top: Bagpiping at 100, a title so narrow that few players would ever think of it. The 85-point band, 3803 answers deep, is where disciplined, specific thinking lands; entries such as Accelerator physics, Acoustics and music technology, Adult-gerontology nurse practitioner or Accounting information systems each fuse a subject with a qualifier, a population or a second field. The 60-point band, 494 answers, is thinner and holds titles closer to the centre of the distribution: real, respectable degrees whose names are broad enough that a large share of players reach them. Practical lesson: a plain discipline name is short and safe but cheap, a two-part hybrid name is the reliable workhorse, and the rare one-institution curiosity is the only route to a perfect score. Precision in naming, not obscurity of subject, separates the bands.
