Does anyone have a list of questions that have wrong answer for
Trivial Pursuit? If I remember correctly, there is about a 5%
error rate which translates to about 300 wrong answers.

My vote for the "this has billions and billions of answers" question is:
Q: What race didn't Rosie Ruiz win in 1980?
A: She didn't win *any* race in 1980, so any answer (like the Daytona 500 :-)
should be acceptable.
The Trivial Pursuit answer was, of course, the Boston Marathon. Ruiz finished
first, but officials determined that she hadn't run the entire race and
disqualified her.

I'm jumping into this discussion late, so I don't know if this was said earlier, but I got an ambiguous question like this last night: q: What do you call a female calf? a: <insert any answer here> Remember, the question asked what *I* call a female calf, not what it should be called. Reminds me of a scene in a (Disney?) movie where a high school athlete would only be allowed to play in the big game if he passed a test given to him on the spot by a teacher. One of the questions was: Tell me all you know about ancient Greece. His answer was nothing, but it was deemed correct because that WAS all he knew about ancient Greece... -- AT THE TONE PLEASE LEAVE YOUR NAME AND NET ADDRESS. THANK YOU. Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr
