Paid trivia packs in a Chrome extension

A Chrome extension that shows a trivia question during the wait for Google Analytics to load, built by somebody who had spent a lot of time in that wait. Then a payment system on top of it, so people could buy more questions. Nobody used the payments — and Google's Chrome payments system was decommissioned shortly afterwards anyway. The plan became to make all of it free.
