    Tricky SBR Trivia Question!

    No complaints here, just wanted to point out that SBR is getting tricky with their questions.

    The Kansas City Chiefs traded for which San Francisco 49ers quarterback in 1994?
    Steve Bono
    Joe Montana
    Steve Young
    Dave Krieg

    Of course this was my 60 pt trivia question, and since I was only 8 in 1994, I don't remember the 9ers trading Bono to the Chiefs, so I pick Montana. I think older guys might know this, but I had no idea. SBR is TRICKY just like run DMC!

    Points Awarded:

    yisman gave RyanLeafOfBets 5 SBR Point(s) for this post.

    Had it about a year ago. Almost fell for the Montana angle, but remembered that he had beaten my Oilers in the playoffs in 1993.

    Why are 10 pt questions now hard as shit? Like they ask what the exact score of some obscure game in 1955 was. WTF kinda thing is that.

    Yeah, like who would know that.

    Is there a way to make trivia questions for SBR? I'ld gladly help them come up with trivia questions that are better and funner.

    SBR once paid three points a question for people to write trivia.

    Wonder if they still do this? I'm assuming if you write trivia you will get your own trivia shut down otherwise you can just cheat.

    That was a one time offer I think. I don't remember ever seeing any of the ones I wrote.

    I think I did pretty well. I assigned the appropriate difficulty levels and made sure there weren't any typos or unclear parts of the questions.

    The trivia was better back then. I remember it being 3 times a week. And didn't they give away more points?

    Also before you could copy and past the question into a search engine and now you can't.

    My 10pt questions was about hockey - I have no clue about hockey, so a lucky guess.
    60 pt was about football - I know football, nailed it after some elimination.
    175 pt question was "in 2003 who was the MOP of the final four" - now, I know college basketball, but even if I didn't that was the easiest question of the 3.

    SBR, good job!

    Thats really not that hard if you know who is the final and those are two of the choices. Was it Italy vs France? So I would guess Brazil. Probably wrong but not really tricky.
