Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Aedes albopictus. Aedes albopictus 180,000 · Dromaeosauridae 140,000 · Genetic code 100,000 · Animal rights 79,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Translation is accomplished by the ribosome, which links proteinogenic amino acids in an order specified by messenger RNA, using transfer RNA molecules to carry amino acids and to read the mRNA three nucleotides at a time.
- The genetic code is highly similar among all organisms and can be expressed in a simple table with 64 entries.
- The codons specify which amino acid will be added next during protein biosynthesis.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Genetic code article was read about 100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Genetic code
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
