QUIZ — ONE SITTING
Protocol//60
A national online quiz on MCP, ACP and how AI agents actually talk to tools and to each other. Top 60 each take home all three rewards.

- Who it is for
- Students, developers, AI enthusiasts and anyone curious about how agents work.
Modern AI has moved past the standalone chatbot. Agents connect to tools, pull in context, take actions and hand work to other systems. Protocol//60 asks how well you understand the protocols underneath that shift.
The questions are conceptual, technical and situational. You will be asked to spot the right protocol concept, read a proposed agent workflow and find what is wrong with it, and choose between approaches to interoperability. Memorising definitions will not get you far.
The top 60 on the leaderboard each receive the complete reward bundle — not one prize split three ways, but all three to every winner. Everyone who completes the quiz properly gets a verifiable certificate.
