DON'T Stump the Guy with Average Knowledge...

[QUOTE=zweisamkeit]
Not to sound like a party pooper, but: you seriously think that’s a level 1 (I’m assuming 1 is easiest at 3 is hardest) question? Arrested Development? I know that show has its rabid fans, but you’re not exactly asking a trivia question about a wildly popular show, like Seinfeld or Cheers or MASH or something.
[/QUOTE]

In short, yes. I made the question, I rated it. What are you, the ref?

[QUOTE=cmyk]

  1. Lobos something or other. Crap. You sure that’s a “2”?!
    [/QUOTE]

  2. Right

  3. Canis lupus. I dunno. I think I need someone to edit my rating system. (I almost rated it a 1, in fact.) Maybe I just need to increase all my questions by 1 point. And then delete all the "4"s that result.

Current score -3

Difficulty level 2:
What’s the tallest building in Chicago?

Difficulty level 3:
Who is the only President to have been elected unanimously?

Difficulty level 2:
What is the least populated continent?

Difficulty level 1:
Which Beatles are still alive?

NEW RULE: Painfully Obvious questions are worth ZERO points. I get to decide which of these qualify.

Such as: What does water become when it freezes into a solid?

Cheney, Moe & Curly. Yes, an apolitical guy hangs out here. But hey… It’s Bush’s cabinet, it must be close.

[QUOTE=cmyk]
OOF. Triassic? (probably not that obvious, is it? Probably some shit like Cambrian.) :frowning:

Close. Triassic is the era before the Jurassic. The correct answer was Cretaceous.

[spoiler]Look dude, we have got a really big pool going on with this back here. I could get you in on the cut if I e-mail you the answers as I post the questions. Either that or you could just send me your strong caregories and a few questions you might like to see. It might be nice if you take a dive on some other people’s three pointers as well. We can win this thing together.
