    I never go for round 3 in trivia
    Always take the 50 and run. And half the time round 2 is a complete guess. Can't imagine the difficulty of question 3.

    I never go past 2nd round either. Cash the 50 and run, or wonder what the fuk happen if I missed it.

          I stop after the first question. I am happy with the 10 points.

            I have done it once and lost, but 50 points is still pretty decent.

              It seems every other week there's a thread like this.

                                        Your loss, I see no real increase in difficulty from 2 to 3.

                                          Your risking 50 points to win 75 so you're getting +150 on getting the question right.

                                          If you don't know the answer, its a +300 proposition.

                                            my first one was really hard today, i am positive many people got easier ones for their third. maybe its more random than you'd think.

                                              I always go for the homerun because the plaque at the bottom makes me feel powerful. Seeing Regis at the end is like a gambling rush too. I am addicted to the trivia.

                                                I never go for it either, but I always wonder if I should have afterwards.

                                                      That's what I do is well...

                                                      From a risk/reward point of view, there it is no point in going for the 125 point question.

                                                          Normally I'll take the 50 and run, but 1 out of 4 I will try for the 125

                                                            the questions have gotten increasingly obscure and difficult since trivia started, 50 is an accomplishment now

                                                              If you don't know the answer, its a +300 proposition.

                                                              I pushed for Q3 for the first couple weeks. But, I dont think I knew any of the answers so I figured it was not worth it. Doesnt look like the difficulty has changed much. I know about 50% of the Q2.
