Answer Vault
Community-powered answer repository with real-time voting and intelligent consensus
Overview
The Answer Vault lets the community vote on answer quality so you can compare collective judgement with AI predictions. See how each option is rated and add your vote.
Community + AI Intelligence
Quanta combines AI predictions with community votes using a balanced scoring algorithm to surface the most reliable answers.
How It Works
Per-Option Voting
For each answer choice in a quiz question, you can:
- Vote Correct (👍🏻): Mark this option as the right answer
- Vote Wrong (👎🏻): Mark this option as incorrect
Real-Time Synchronization
The Answer Vault uses real-time database subscriptions to keep vote counts synchronized across users and browser tabs.
- Instant Updates: See vote changes as they happen
- Multi-Tab Support: Votes sync across all your open tabs
- Cross-User Sync: Benefit from votes cast by other Quanta users
- Automatic Retry: Failed votes are automatically retried for reliability
Network Required
Real-time sync requires an active internet connection. Offline votes will be queued for submission when you reconnect.
Community Consensus Algorithm
Quanta uses intelligent balanced scoring to determine the best answer:
Score = (Correct Votes - Wrong Votes) / Total VotesThe algorithm:
- Favors answers with higher net positive votes
- Accounts for vote distribution to avoid single-vote swings
- Balances community consensus with AI confidence scores
- Surfaces reliable answers when patterns stay consistent
Pro Tip
Answers with more total votes are generally more reliable. Check the vote statistics in the Answer Vault page to see community confidence levels.
Accessing the Answer Vault

Privacy & Data Considerations
Toggle Vote Buttons
If you prefer a cleaner quiz interface, you can hide the inline vote buttons:
- Open Main Settings
- Navigate to Behavior tab
- Toggle "Show Vote Buttons" off
Note
Hiding vote buttons only affects inline buttons on quiz pages. You can still access voting functionality through the Answer Vault page.
Best Practices
Vote Honestly
Only vote if you're confident about an answer. Quality over quantity helps maintain vault accuracy.
Review Before Voting
Check existing vote counts to see community consensus before adding your vote.
