    Yeah, 125 is so much harder. Unless you are on two computers and quickly search google in 5 seconds, and get lucky and see it in the highlighted porition. (you can also do it on windows 7 with being able to have two windows open) its possible but you are unlikely to get it in time.

    My question was something like "which nfl player has played int he most consecutive superbowls?"

    My only guess was Jim Kelly, but there is someone else who went to 6 in a row. Don't remember his name though. Probably the last time I go for 125

    LOL. Sometimes if I had a few I'll put off logging into SBR on Trivia days for just that reason.

    I think it's random... I've gone for it almost every time and it's usually super hard, but finally had a relatively easy one last week for my first correct 125 pointer.

    I guess it depends on how much you need/want the points. If you really need/want the points, it probably isn't worth going for past 50... but on the other hand... trivia is pretty fun!

    If I breeze through the first 2, i'll take my chances on the final one.. But if I feel like I work hard to get to 50, i'll settle with it

    I'm happy with the 50, If I make it there. Maybe someday I'll try the 125.

    What is the percentage you need to be correct for the 125 point question where it would get you the same as stopping after getting the 50 point question right?

    I mean, say there were 10 times you got 50 points and quit. Then you have 500 points. But if each of those 10 times you went for the 125 point question, getting 4 correct would get you 500 points. Thus, is 40 percent the breakeven point?

    only the 10 points question can be googled .

    the 50 points question will be in a format : which player below did not win a championship , and you have to make a guess .

    If you can eliminate 1 possible answer from the from the 125 PT question it's +EV to guess at that point.

    You'd have better odds with taking the 50 and going to the casino and playing a hand or two of BJ.

    I've been having a bad run at trivia lately. Today I finally got the 50 pointer right. I was so pleased with this small accomplishment that I chickened out and cashed the 50 out.
