I like a challenge but sometimes I get too caught up in it.

So far, not much action here.

But somebody voted for 'too difficult', but did not explain why.

Please say why you answered the poll as you did.

I can't control the posts on this particular forum, but if you would like, you can tell us (in confidence) why you think such and such about your answer, at the Trivia Game forum, 'New Trivia Game' (I will not release for view any posts of opinions, only correct answers to the sample question.)

By the way, I cannot explain how while where there a 3 replies, 2 for one answer showing 100%, and 1 for another answer showing 50%. That looks to me like like 150%! I'll pass it along the chain of command.

Can I fix it, or is it stuck the way it is?

I will give the new game a try. I do not seriously expect to do well. This may be what puts people off. No one likes to show their ignorance . The questions in previous games were about right, if a little difficult.

Doh!

Well, Mr. Mixed-up Trivia Moderator, in reviewing the options, it would be non-sensical not to allow for votes for more than one option.

I will definitely play the new game (except when I'm out of town or otherwise can't play) and found the sample question JUST RIGHT. Something I really liked about the previous game was the statement of exactly when (day and time) the answers were due.
