      I havent missed question #2 once. In fact, they have generally been fairly easy. I am not going to try #3 again as the break evenpoint on that is 40% and I know long run I wont get it right 40% of the time. Took the 50 and ran again today.

          I got the first two today pretty easily, so went for the third.

          Impossible question.

          I won't give the specifics, but this should give you the picture.

          In 1989, how many years had it been since <NFL team> had last won their division?


          Unless you were a fan of that team and memorized how they did each season...


          That would be a hard question even if it was current. Say: How many years has it been since the Baltimore Ravens last won their division?

          By making it starting from a date 22 years ago, it makes it impossible. I guessed the largest amount of years, thinking that would make it notable, and got it wrong.

            Yeah pretty much thats what I get on question #3.

            One time it was how many yards and td passes did Brett Farve have in 1996 ?

            Now it would have been nice if at least one of the choices was easy to dismiss like if one of the choices said 85 TD passes or 5 TD Passes.

            But no, all the choices were possible and close. The TD pass choices were like 25,26,27, and 28 so it was just a total guess and it would have been for anyone probably even Farve himself.

            Bottom line, you have to think you are going to be able to hit queston 3 , 40% of the time or you are better just quitting after number 2. I dont think anyone is going to hit it 40% of the time with these types of questions.

              Update:

              Today my third question was:

              In a 1978 playoff game, which of these players did not homer?

              I made an educated guess and got it right. Pretty brutal question if you ask me.

                  Woo Hoo.

                  Completely guessed at question #2 today and got it right. It was a total 1 in 4 guess as I wasnt able to eliminate any of the choices.

                        I'd like to go on to the second, but my screen constantly freezes up after the first. It's done it 5-6 times, so much so that I hust take my 10 and run. But I'd like to go on

                                              best you can do is try to eliminate one of the choices and guess
