I wrote:
"Let's assume in a game we have a lot of decisions to make, say you come to throw 100 times. Now if your success rate is %90 all the time you score 90 times and if your success rate is %70 all the time, obviously you'd score 70 times. If we alternate between the two cases, on average you'd score 80 times. If we now alternate between %90 and 70% from throw to throw we get also 0.9x50+0.7x50=80. So I think, either way, we get the same result; if I put the quiz factor, namely, being challenged by you, aside."

What I wrote is not correct! Because, the average length of the match is not remaining constant, if we change the scoring rate.
