OK, shouldn't trivia contests be SOMEWHAT hard? Or at least accurate?
The online radio station I listen to at work is giving away tickets this week to see KT Tunstall (one of my favorites, btw). You have to be the nth caller, but you also have to answer a trivia question correctly; the subject changes, as far as I can tell, at the whim of the DJ.
So, today's question was about Star Wars (yeah, I know, I'm a Star Wars freak). The question was, "Other than Darth Vader, name the two other Darths in the first 3 Star Wars episodes."
OK. The answer they were looking for was Darth Maul and Darth Siddious.
EXCEPT THERE WERE THREE OTHER DARTHS! Count Dooku was also a Sith Apprentice, and went by the monniker Darth Tyrannous.
I'm not asking that they make someone name all three; that's pretty arcane and, uh, trivial (grin) knowledge. But at least write the question such that it's accurate: "Other than Darth Vader, name 2 of the 3 other Darths in the first three Star Wars episodes"
Hmph. And I would've liked the tickets, too, but I'm not sure how I would've gotten to Nashville to see the show...
