Explain me this pls

I've started a quiz site and I came across some strange phenomena related to the stats displayed in Google Analytics.

So I shared my quiz on Reddit and I've got like 80 people on my site from which 70 have completed the quiz. This is the only source of traffic, nothing else.

It should take at least 3-4 minutes to complete the quiz. I'm 100% sure that these people have completed this quiz, but GA shows a 90% bounce rate and only 6s average time spent on the quiz page.

How is that possible?

They interact with my page so I should have a very low bounce rate. Also, just 6s avg time spent? For real? I can say it's almost impossible to complete the quiz in less than the 30s even when you instantly press the answer button. So how GA can show these stats? Is there any explanation behind it? Or it might be broken?

Are you sure that 70 people completed the quiz?
How did you install the analytics code?

It's an Elementor page, so as I couldn't change the code inside head, I've just put the Analytics inside an HTML widget, which is after the quiz code. And yes, I'm 100% sure that these people have completed the quiz, as I have all the stats including their answers.

google was broken long time ago..

Use a plugin called insert headers and footers to add google analytics code to your WP website. You probably installed the code wrongly.

Something is a bit off here.
Sure GA is placed correctly?

As I said, I've placed the GA code inside the body, because I couldn't change the code head. The code is placed in an HTML widget which is located below the quiz code. From my understanding, as long as the code is there it should work properly, right?

No.

How does your script work? Does it submit data to the backend at every step, or does it collect data at each step and only POSTs once?
Is it even POST?
Are you validating your data?
Do you have a CAPTCHA?

The solution to the dilemma might be that that is the average time people spend on the site, and that people who take quizzes do it randomly just to get views, or it's a bug.

I don't know about everyone else here, but Reddit has always shown ridiculously high bounce rates in my experience.
