Tau quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Tau card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.

Answer
antitau. In the tau's case, this is the "antitau". From the Tau article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer

Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Speed. Speed 120,000 · Tau 61,000 · Richard Dedekind 40,000 · Clock signal 30,000 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.
- Like the electron, the muon, and the three neutrinos, the tau is a lepton, and like all elementary particles with half-integer spin, the tau has a corresponding antiparticle of opposite charge but equal mass and spin.
- In the tau's case, this is the "antitau".
- Tau particles are denoted by the symbol τ− and the antitaus by τ+.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Tau article was read about 61,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 38: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
How to get Tau
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.
