One in a Krillion Answers
What One in a Krillion means
One in a Krillion is the top tier in Krillion, worth 100 points. For each prompt the game picks out a very small number of answers for it, and each comes with a short note explaining what it is. The official FAQ says these aren't chosen on rarity alone: past a certain depth, rarity is hard to tell apart, so they are also picked for how satisfying they are to land on.
That makes them different from the tier just below. A Deep Cut is any accepted answer almost nobody gives, and a prompt can have thousands. A One in a Krillion answer is hand-picked. See all six tiers and their points.
