Yes..each punch card had a question and multiple answers. You put the punch
card in and turned the crank to pull it trough the reader. Then the the
number corresponding to the correct answer showed on the faux LED screen.
It had about 300 cards and you could buy extra sets in different
categories..sort of like Trivial Pursuit games today.
