If you had 10 average people in a room, how many trivia questions could you answer?

42. That's the answer to everything.

What if they were all musicians?
Will you walk into my parlour? said the Spider to the Fly,
Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I've a many curious things to show when you are there.

Oh no, no, said the little Fly, to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair
-can ne'er come down again.

Now if they were magicians I'd say you need at least 50. (covers head and ducks)

I guess this was in direct answer to the original question? OK. It wouldn't matter how many people, average or otherwise were in the room. I would still be able to answer the same number of trivia questions (which is probably a few less than Ken Jennings could).

Yep. A to the Orig Q.

If they ARE indeed average and they are forming the questions: All of them.

If Michael Baker is forming the questions and having average folk read them...well then the picture changes and my All becomes Some.

If they are written for folks who have been out of diapers for more than 30 years...MOST.

If they are written for the new breed on the globe (who's trivia resmbles this weeks newspaper) then a FEW.

If it's Film related and prior to the 70's...MOST

If it's Current Events...MOST ALL

If it's Polit/Global Events prior to the past five years...SOME to Many

If it's 1950 Monster Movies definately ALL. Smile

BTW: The Q that Ken Jenning's missed was not at all difficult (I got it) and I'm thinking it was an on purpose bale out. Who want's to play games when you can go shopping!!!!!!!

Yup. Who's asking and what about are key here. I was playing Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit with my 12 year old son yesterday and he was beating me 3 to 1.

What's an average person? I've yet to meet one.
