No worries: I'll try to explain further.
Yes, it might seem a bit difficult with the statistics probably. The game elements really depend on some basic statistics. But let's take it one step at a time.
But all that is really required is both predicting the answers/scores that others might give (so most people), predicting how questions/answers interrelate (is there an inverse correlation, normal correlation or no correlation: does one score tell you anything about the chance of another answer, beyond "pure chance") answering/scoring the questions for yourself. Not yet, but predicting after I've posted all questions (there are 10).
The aim is to see whether we can come up with questions that are useful in distinguishing between groups of people (not just those with an autism spectrum disorder) with as few questions as possible. If the questions tell us something about more "essential" human characteristics, it might be fun to compare your scores with those of others.
The statistics (and predictions) will just be used later to see if the questions are indeed meaningful/useful. Individual game scores will depend on how well you predicted a certain answer.
So basically: two round, predicting and answering for yourself (24 hours for the first, prediction round).
If after those two rounds you think you can come up with more meaningful/useful questions, please ask them (via the same procedure). Statistics will tell us which questions are best.
Hope this helps to explain it.
