      Yeah the places here in Atlanta this time of the year are not all green.

      But yeah the point was that the question is very tricky. It's like having a question saying what color is the sea? blue, gray, black or clear color? it depends on the time of day and the weather.

          It has been of late. I haven't been past the second round the last 5 times. Today i got lucky though. The question, who dod Fred Lynn hot a grand slam against in the 1983 all star game. I don't remember it since I was super young. The answers were A Don Drysdale, which I eliminated. Next Mario Soto, Bill Dawley, and Steve Carlton. I took a stab with Dawley and it was a winner.

              The last question I was only able to eliminate one answer so basically guessed. Its luck of the draw and what you know about. Lately Ive seen more college football questions which I'm ok at. But a 2001 MLB question and I'm toast.

                  I say always eliminate two when not sure and think fast and hard...and do not ever let time expire!

                    funny how most of these guys are bitching about something that is free. Yea maybe SBR can make questions, like "who is the starting qb for the patriots" and yea make all the right answers worth like a thousand points

                        Sorry, that is incorrect!

                        Who coached Miami, FL to a 12-0-0 record in the 1991 college football season?

                        * Paul "Bear" Bryant
                        * Howard Schnellenberger
                        * Joe Paterno
                        * Dennis Erickson

                        If I always seen these types of questions I would win the max every time..

                            I think most people in Argentina would get that right.

                            i missed mine today because i loaded up sbr in the damn plane on my cellphone, and my cellphone couldnt quite handle the trivia thingy. i wish there was like a ASK ME LATER option.
                            There is. Click no and "don't ask me again" and then when you're ready, go to options in your settings and change no to yes.

                                Thanks for telling us this. I thought it meant you had to skip that day completely --- or maybe even forever.

                                  Not going to complain too much about free points, but I agree. After the first question (which I never stop at, because it's not statistically worth not trying #2), shit gets really hard. And as a younger member, some of these questions are just laughable, such as the above "1990 Reds" question above... not a chance in hell.

                                                    my first question today was...

                                                    Which two goalies were awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy twice?


                                                    i barely even watch or follow hockey, shit is getting out of hand on the trivia.
