    I call foul on trivia......
    This is the 50 point question:


    <fieldset> <legend>What was the team passing offensive record for completions in Division 1A in 2006?</legend>
    • 333
    • 111
    • 222
    • 444

    </fieldset>

    Not like I would ever know that and the answers look ridiculous so I guess 333. They say 444. I decide to look it up. According to ESPN top completions was Texas Tech with 438.

    ESPN is the place for NCAAF stats! Find a list of the Offense Total team stat leaders for the 2006 NCAAF Postseason.



    Explanations are needed

      I did the same thing. The 50 pointers are getting a lot harder.

        That's a very poorly worded question.

            maybe since 444 is closer to 438 then 333, they say it was right

                I mean the answer wasn't right to begin with. Only reason I checked is b/c the answers looked retarded. Who makes these things up and can I get an explanation?

                  It seems many of them are poorly worded. I would guess non-english speakers are formulating these questions. I keep reminding myself, it is free.

                    poorly worded and free or not, its the wrong answer. i don't care if it were written in arabic, its still the wrong answer

                    and fyi this isn't the first time i've seen an sbr trivia question with no correct answer

                              i missed the 50pter today, but i actually thought my questions have been pretty decent (although i never go for 125)

                              that sucks though, hopefully theyll reset yours

                                    Had my two easiest questions ever, cashing out at 50. First question was "what drink was invented at the University of Florida" ... Gatorade. 2nd was about what incident were the Patriots punished for ... Spygate and the other answers were ridiculous.

                                        I stumbled upon this for the 50 pts questions, not easy huh I guessed it wrong, the last guy is the correct answer.

                                        Who was on deck when Mookie Wilson hit the game winning hit in game 6 of the 1986 World Series?

                                          I had a officiating question, but didn't say which sport so I was all kinds of confused and got it wrong. It happens.

                                              What's really annoying is when the answer trivia expects isn't even the actual answer. Happened to me awhile ago regarding number of conference games in the NHL. The questions didn't know the schedule was changed in the 2008-2009 season.

                                              And as far as not going for the 2nd question, that doesn't make sense. Do the math: 50 is five times ten and you have a one in four chance of guessing correctly. Any gambler who's been doing this longer than a few minutes should see a 5 to 1 payout on 4 to 1 odds is an advantage you'll never see in a casino or a sportsbook.

                                                I had the same 50 point question the last 2 weeks.

                                                Missed it both times.

                                                  you couldn't guess better than that? with 12 games, these passing teams throw 30-40 times a game. 30x12=360, 40x12=480. include a bowl game you get in the 400s. use common sense.

                                                        i seem to always get the 10 pointer now.. but the 50 point Q always seems like rocket science.. obscure sports and stats.. all i want is the option to back outta the 50 and keep my 10 pts

                                                          I had the exact same question last night. I tried to guess 333 but the site messed up and said I timed out even though I chose my answer with a few seconds left. I didn't complain because I would of got it wrong anyways. Was a very poorly worded question. That's all I seem to get lately. Oh well.

                                                            I got a way worse question. It was basically an error where the answer was a foul. it asked about college football, it should have said college basketball. I should have known it was an error, but thought maybe trick question. Reset trivia please.
