Trivial Pursuit

Have you played Trivial Pursuit? You are in for a treat. If your game of Trivial Pursuit is like mine it will end up with everyone landing in an exasperated way on the orange spaces and making up humorous fake sports answers until eventually they get a question about how many bottles of Champagne in a magnum or something like that designed to make the game not impossible for people like me. But I know your game of Trivial Pursuit is not like mine because you are a well rounded man or lady of the world and can accept the orange questions, and even the pink questions, with equanimity.

It doesn't really matter of course, whether you are incapable of answering the questions. The most thrilling part of Trivial Pursuit is finding a Wrong Question. The makers of Trivial Pursuit salt their game pretty heavily with these because they know that nothing feels smarter than feeling smarter than the makers of Trivial Pursuit. Because they are philanthropic in spirit I am able to present to you a Few Bad Trivial Pursuit Questions:

"Which class of animals is oldest and most numerous?"

"What is Columbo's first name?"

"What is the highest mountain in the world not in a mountain range?" This is so vague.

"What vegetable are broccoli and cauliflower most closely related to?"

"Who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1942?" Answer on the card: Nobody.
