Picked B — correct was A
Loss variant of the reveal state. User tapped LeBron James at 2× multiplier; correct answer was Michael Jordan. Red ambient glow, red celebration bar, the user's wrong pick lights red AND the correct answer still lights green — so you see at once where you went and where you should have gone. Fun fact uses "The answer was..." framing (not condescending, just informative).

Design Mechanics · Wrong-answer reveal
Ambient red glow — subtle, not aggressive. Matches the loss tone without feeling punitive.
Top chip colors shift — round IQ chip becomes orange (progress still positive, but you had a setback). Progress dot for Q4 is red with the same "just-filled" pop animation — mirror of the correct state.
Celebration bar flips red"Tough break" (not mocking — empathetic; matches the "fun even in loss" principle) + −50 IQ + math "25 lost × 2×". Same layout as correct state; same info.
Two answers light up simultaneously:
Answer A (green) — the correct answer. "✓ Correct" tag. User sees at a glance where they should have gone.
Answer B (red) — the user's pick. "Your pick ✕" tag. User sees where they went wrong.
Both lit at full opacity so the comparison is visible.
All 4 percentages shown — exactly like the correct state (43% / 28% / 19% / 10%). Same 5 data pieces Mark asked for; same layout regardless of outcome.
Fun fact reframed — eyebrow becomes "The answer" (not "Did you know"), body leads with Michael Jordan and educates on why he's the answer — plus a small dunk on the user's pick ("LeBron has 4"). Informative and a bit playful — not preachy.
Auto-advance unchanged — same 2-second countdown to next Q. Loss doesn't add friction. Flow continues.
