so, i'm resurrecting all my blogs to conduct a trivial pursuit contest for the summer! please play, it'll be fun. pay attention, because it seems like there are lots of rules and such, but it's just to make the game as fair as possible. every day or so, there will be a set of questions, one from each card deck that i own. answer them in a comment and i'll give you points. how does that sound? let's play.
here are the rules: you get one guess. once you've commented and answered wrong, you're done for the day with that question. each day will be a different color (blue, pink, yellow, brown/purple, green, and orange. DO NOT RESEARCH THESE. IF I SUSPECT FOUL PLAY, I GET ALL YOUR POINTS AND YOU ARE NO LONGER IN THE RUNNING. that's right. i could win based on someone else being dishonest. the first person who's comment registers is the winner of that question. i'm not sitting by my computer waiting for answers. there is no specific time i will post, so you just have to be lucky with the timing. i'm harsh. boo. my blog, my rules. i will also be posting this on: blogspot, xanga, and livejournal blogs. the leaderboard will be posted with the next questions.
A helpful hint: These are the publishing dates for each edition (in normal question order)
