Bad trivia question

crjohnson32 · 10-26-11, 07:47 AM

they might as well have us solve a calculus equation with some of the ridiculous questions.

It should just read:
"rather than give you a question we know you won't get, we're just going to end your trivia right now and you will not receive any points"

what the fukk boscoe? you didn't know the GBP were founded on 7163? shit man get it together

shari91 · 10-26-11, 07:57 AM

ummm yeah that seems a bit wonky...

I'll let Admin know Boscoe

Not as bad as Boscoe's but come on, who the hell are the Phoenix Cardinals? If that's their official name I eat my words, but damn that threw me off, I was thinking is this some SUPER minor league hockey team that only plays a few games a season?

I always thought it was only ARIZONA CARDINALS.

Hi Boscoe,

Thanks for pointing this out - we've disabled the question.

It looks like though your trivia session today had you winning 50 points (2 of 2 correct), we'd ask you let us know on the day of trivia when there's a current issue so we can offer a reset. I've credited 5 points though for the post.

When I showed up not that long ago it was obvious they were giving you free 10 points and then making it a little harder and testing your sports knowledge for the 50 etc. That philosophy changed abt 2 months ago. maybe 2 many nerds with google skills? Now its almost a luckfest from the beginning. I keep telling myself, its free. I keep up this mantra on the poker turn /river beats.

That sucks that you only got 5 points...Don't know if he would get the 50 point question...Should give him at least 30, middle between 10 and 50.

Normally we do - but this wasn't even from today. We really appreciate the posts though and hope that our gratitude is enough. =) It's against the spirit of trivia to search your past questions seeking a reward anyhow. We'll ask that claims be submitted same-day in future.

They were known of the phoenix cardinal for a couple of year right after they moved before changing to Arizona, but switched in 94 to Arizona cardinals

Glitch · 10-26-11, 08:47 AM

yes but there were no phoenix cardinals in 2008. not in the NFL anyway.

Hi Lou, that question was from today. No worries though. I've won plenty of points through trivia so no need to reset. Just pointing out a bad question.

The answer is C: 8/11/1919

Convert numbers to date format in excel, then google answer, duh, winning!

nicely done... I thought it might've been some screwed up date format with the last two digits as the year which is why I guessed the one that ended in 33

So no chance of getting some kind of handout on the non-existent 2008 Phoenix Cardinals?

Powderguy · 10-26-11, 06:11 PM

Bahahahahaha

InTheDrink · 10-26-11, 08:52 PM

remember that answer folks

Lou this happens to posters quite a bit where they post the same day and for whatever reason you guys have them shown winning that day. You'd think by now SBR would realize the problem is on their end.
