    I never go for round 3 in trivia

    Always take the 50 and run. And half the time round 2 is a complete guess. Can't imagine the difficulty of question 3.

    I never go past 2nd round either. Cash the 50 and run, or wonder what the fuk happen if I missed it.

    I stop after the first question. I am happy with the 10 points.

    I have done it once and lost, but 50 points is still pretty decent.

    Your loss, I see no real increase in difficulty from 2 to 3.

    1st: What a Baseball player wears to the plate - Helmet
    2nd: Gold Ball winner of 2006 World Cup - Zidane
    3rd: 05-06 Celtics assist leader - Paul Pierce

    Your risking 50 points to win 75 so you're getting +150 on getting the question right.

    If you don't know the answer, its a +300 proposition.

    my first one was really hard today, i am positive many people got easier ones for their third. maybe its more random than you'd think.

    I always go for the homerun because the plaque at the bottom makes me feel powerful. Seeing Regis at the end is like a gambling rush too. I am addicted to the trivia.

    I never go for it either, but I always wonder if I should have afterwards.

    That's what I do is well...

    From a risk/reward point of view, there it is no point in going for the 125 point question.

    Normally I'll take the 50 and run, but 1 out of 4 I will try for the 125

    the questions have gotten increasingly obscure and difficult since trivia started, 50 is an accomplishment now

    I pushed for Q3 for the first couple weeks. But, I dont think I knew any of the answers so I figured it was not worth it. Doesnt look like the difficulty has changed much. I know about 50% of the Q2.
