Wait, if the card was published before License to Kill’s release how would they know that was his final Bond film?
Apparently Dalton was signed on for one more film after License to Kill but only dropped out due to a bunch of weird corporate restructuring stuff that occurred after LtK’s release which is why there was such a giant gap between LtK and Goldeneye. In fact the outline of the 3rd Dalton film has been out for a while now and Dalton apparently at one point was going to fight a robot, I’m not joking (since Terminator was hot at the time and Bond films tend to copy whatever was the last big hit).
Every crappily made sports trivia game suffers from this. I remember buying one in the early 00’s for PC where most the questions were “How many yards did <insert quarterback> rush for last season?” which made it hilariously out of date a year after production.
I recall playing the game in the mid-1980s when Pete Rose was player-manager of the Reds. Trivial Pursuit was obviously printed/published before Pete was named their manager, because they had a question “Who was the last player-manager in Major League Baseball?” and the answer on the back was Don Kessinger (which was indeed correct before Rose managed).
Possibly a hijack, as it pertains to the tabletop version of a different game: Who Want to be a Millionaire, but my outrage at the error was similar to that of others in this thread.
The final, million-dollar question was: what is the name of the B-2 Bomber?
I forget what the claimed “correct” answer was, but none of the four options was “Spirit,” which is correct. The other players feigned that this information could not possibly be known, so I “lost.” This was in the days before smartphones and Wikipedia.
Gotta wonder what the “right” answer to that question is. There are many folk etymologies of Spam floating around, and the makers aren’t saying what the true version is.
I thought that was because of a long legal dispute with the people that made Never Say Never Again. They wanted to make more Bond films. EON wanted to stop them. Until the dispute was resolved, neither were able to make any.
Back in 2013, someone found and posted a picture on the net of a card with the question, “Which of these actors has never played Batman: Ben Affleck, Christian Bale, George Clooney, Val Kilmer, or Adam West?”
I was at a church singles group in 1988 playing whatever the most recent edition was. Team play. I was cleaning house on sports questions. Then came one right down the middle of the plate:
“How many games did it take the Minnesota Twins to defeat the St Louis Cardinals in the 1987 World Series?”
I said, “Seven,” and reached for the die.
Nope. The card said “six,” and nobody else there was a baseball fan. I listed the scores for each game, etc, but they thought the card was like the 10 Commandments or something.
There’s a question that asks, what name was given the ( Boeing ) 737 when it came out? Answer: “Fat Albert”.
FWIW, I’ve worked as a mechanic on the 737 for 30+ years with different operators. In that time I’ve NEVER heard the “Fat Albert” term used by any of my peers, in all our work histories. We’ve only heard of the term via Trivial Pursuit.
Please tell me if I’ve misinterpreted something, but I believe I found one with an error in the question AND another in the answer.
The question, as written:
“What is the difference between one square mile and one mile square?”
I’m pretty sure it means “a mile squared,” right?
The answer is even more cryptic, though. Instead of something like “one is a square a mile on each side, and the other is a straight line,” the answer is, I quote,
“One square mile.”
(Was the question originally “which is bigger,” not “what’s the difference”? I don’t know, this whole thing is weird.
