    HOW HARD is the 3RD TRIVIA QUESTION ?
    I am sure that noone is cashing out after round 1 of trivia. I am sure everyone realizes that you have to play round 2 because even if you have no idea, you can guess it right 25% of the time, and you are getting 4 to 1 odds ( risking 10 to win 40 more ). So its +EV even if you are totally guessing.

    Thing is every time I have played round 2, the question has been pretty easy. I have been cashing out after round 2 because I assume round 3 will be a tough question and I am not that good at trivia anyway so i will likely just be guessing. Thats not +EV because you are risking 50 to win 75. So I was just wondering, how hard is that question #3 ?

    Is it usually a tough ass question like one I got one time that said something like how many TDS and YARDS did Brett Farve have in 1996 ? Who the fuk would know that ? All the choices were similar and all possible so I just totally guessed.

    I am saying, is the 3rd question generally just a guess or is it a reasonable question ?

    It's impossible to answer unless you guess.

        I have only gotten it once when trivia first came out, lately have been missing the 3rd every time sometimes the fukin 2nd one, even the first. Who knows this obscure shit???

        The only reason Ive gotten past the 2nd one the last 2 times is probably cause theyve asked me the same easy one twice in a row on 2nd, which college did Jordan play for

            there was a spell when the second question was so hard I took the ten and ran

            I consider myself pretty knowledgeable.since I used to fight my brother in 1971 for the miami herald sports page off the front lawnI have lived and breathed sports

            some of the questions you just gotta be older to have remembered them

            so how the fuk are there guys walking around with a shit load of 3 answer trophies..sometimes all in succession?...I dont fuken get it..Im too slow to google if thats what they do..maybe a 2 person system?..how the fuk they do it?..I have reason to suspect a couple of them dont know willie lanier from bob lanier

                Thanks for letting me know everyone. Thats what I assumed, that question #3 would be a total guess. Not worth it when you are only getting +150.

                But the 2nd question, we are getting +400 so got to try the second question. Today my second question was who did the Braves beat to win their only world series in the 90's and I remembered that series very well so I knew it was Cleveland.

                Another round 2 question I got was when did McGwire join the Cardinals. 2 of the choices were in the 2000's like 2003 and 2005. I think everyone knows he broke the HR record as a Cardinal in the 1990's so it was just a guess between 1997 and 1994 and I was pretty sure it was 1997. I have gotten some very easy 2nd questions.

                          1. KC Chiefs(correct)
                          2. Dal Cowboys
                          3. Houston Texans
                          and I cant remember the fourth.

                                  I believe you man. I coulda got that Dallas Texan answer too.. I remember back when chiefs owner lamar hunt saw his daughter bouncing a hard rubber ball in the back yard. He asked her the name and named the upcoming championship after that ball..the super ball

                                      The hardest 3rd question I missed was who was MIN first playoff victory against. Answer was Rams and I went with Eagles. They are tough but not out of this world. Sometimes I'll get tripped up on a stupid stat question about RBI's or something.

                                        3rd one for me today was as easy as the 3rd. What school did Greg Pruitt play college football at? 2nd question was hardest.

                                                            3rd question . The god damn 1st question is sometimes hard as f*ck. It's either really easy(what is a ball that is hit over the fence and doesn't hit the ground called in baseball?) or its extremely hard(how fat is deuce?). Like it may be easy in the sense that it's a simple question, but only someone that follows deuce's career and his weight progression would know that.
