One in a Krillion is the game's 100-point top tier, worth 1,000 meters of dive depth. Our saved sheets show the exact answers assigned that tier for a prompt and date. The creator also considers how satisfying an answer is to land on.
How the top tier is chosen
The official FAQ says rarity methods vary by question. It also explains why the top gem can seem less rare than some Deep Cuts: once rarity becomes hard to distinguish, the creator considers whether the answer is fun to land on. The tier is a curated 100-point assignment, chosen for that question.

What the September 28 sheet adds
Dive #75 shows how different kinds of answers can share the top tier. The saved sheet includes Lettish for a language name ending in -ish, Inuit snow goggles and Velarium for things used to block the sun, and GRiD and OLPC for laptop brands. Historical wording, artifacts and product history all appear, which fits the official note that a satisfying answer can matter as well as raw familiarity.

Read one result from start to finish
On September 28, prompt 2, the question asks for a language whose English name ends in -ish. The saved entry Lettish is in the 100-point group. That gives you three separate facts to preserve: the spelling, the exact constraint, and the dated tier assignment.
If you cannot find a candidate in the roster, check the spelling and prompt first. Try a spelling fragment or another saved date. Use the missing-answer checks before interpreting the result.
Can you use these examples while playing?
They can broaden the categories you consider. First check whether a candidate actually satisfies the current prompt, then compare your result with that date's sheet. Answer Lookup searches saved assignments; open the matching question to read its complete wording and grades.
Frequently asked questions
How many points is One in a Krillion worth?
100 points, the highest fixed score for one accepted answer. At ten meters per point, that is 1,000 meters. Seven such results would add up to the theoretical 700-point maximum.
Is the top-tier answer always the objectively rarest?
No. The official FAQ says the gem is not chosen on rarity alone: after a certain depth, it also considers which answer is satisfying or fun.
Can I find a One in a Krillion answer for every prompt?
Not in every saved roster. Open the dated sheet to see whether that prompt listed a 100-point answer. The dated sheet shows all available tier groups.
