Trivia Rules

Ok, now keep your hands where I can see 'em, and no hitting below the belt. The appropriate formalities will be followed at all times - this is serious business.

1. Everybody gets 100 points to start, for each quiz. No adjustments are permitted for age, OK if you're over 100 years old you get 105 points - are you happy.

2. Each question is multiple choice, if you're playing as a group each person should write down their response and show it to everyone else before selecting an answer. If you're playing by yourself, you don't have to right it down because I trust you.

3. Each question has 4 possible answers, selecting an incorrect answer directs you to a page where you'll be properly chastised, ridiculed, and generally made fun of and told how many points to subtract from that every shrinking 100.

4. If you pick an incorrect answer, there'll be a link at the bottom directing you back to the question you just missed. So you see, you have to pick a correct answer to move on to the next question. Therefore, you should subtract the appropriate points from each missed answer. Meaning if it takes you four tries to get the right answer on question #1, you would have subtracted points three times already - likewise you might want to consider some remedial help, because the first few questions are the easiest.

5. Yes - for those with analytical minds, you can end up with negative points!
