Ironworks Trivia Contest

Even General Knowledge will stump you sometimes. I got a ton of European football questions once and the medical stuff is tricky sometimes too.

Really, it's very mixed and I think we all have a pretty even chance of getting them right or messing them up at any given time. You can't make it all Australian or all US or all Medical or all anything without skewing it for a good number of people playing at any point. But if you change it every few times it does give a more even playing field- just warn everyone beforehand what the time of the topic change will be and do it on a reasonably regular basis, I think.

I'm doing pretty well on the Oasis version... usually land about 10th to 11th at any given time! LOL

[Sir Goulum]

Lol, well, I average about 14th, 15th on the Oasis and like 20th here. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ahh, it's all in fun, Sir G! Don't sweat it... I like trying to reason out answers if I don't know 'em. Even if I end up with 5/10, what the heck, some of us know more useless trivia than others!

Trivia is never useless. You never know when some esoteric piece of information might come in handy. [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img]

By the way...the plastic tips on the ends of your shoelaces are called "aglets". [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
