      I looked it up as well and thought... damn that was easy!

      Maybe I'll try google next time... I just don't think I type fast enough. What would you guess your success rate is for 3rd questions?

              Nice research! But the bonus with getting #3 correct is that nice, little, "3-question winner " icon on the bottom of your post, so thats something...

                  My second trivia question today was how many feet apart are the bases apart in major league baseball. I figured I better end it and cash out after that one.

                    Mine was distance from the mound to home plate. Then I got some question about which former Bengal is older and I only recognized Carson Palmer so I guessed him....and I won!!!!

                        The last time I played the 3rd question the questions were stuff like... "Who won the Bronze medal for High Jump at the 1964 Summer Olympics?" Are the 3rd questions still as hard as that?
                        If the first 2 were super easy, I'll play the 3rd. If the 2nd one was difficult, I'l stop there.

                          I've never once played the second question which I know is sooooo -EV especially since I've seen so many of the questions for one reason or another. But no bloody way. Some of them are just way too hard for my peabrain. Especially random NCAA stuff from like the '50s. No hope for me!
