 Dan [[scaling|improves]] as the difficulty and obscurity of the questions increases, making him a highly sought-after teammate for [[Only Connect]]. In addition to being the top scorer on his team in Rounds 1 and 12 and at the [[2022 Chicago Open]], he managed to achieve more than twice the [[PPG]] of anyone else at the premier site of the near-impossible [[2022 The Query of the Leisure Class]] while playing with [[James Orefice|James Sinjames]], [[Aiden Dartley|james owofice]], and [[Kevin Park|Keven]].

 In January 2024, Dan unveiled the [[Ni Polygon Scale]], an innovative quizbowl difficulty scale in which set difficulty is represented using polygons. Under this scale, the difficulty and subjective "feel" of sets are visually represented using various properties, including but not limited to: the number of sides, relative side lengths, relative interior angles and colors of the polygon.
