Don't count on BGG knowing what she's talking about. She's second-guessing herself as well LOL The trivia said specific, DebiLee said specific.. but if Debi said "official" later, well... what's official? What's specific? It's mostly just a matter of personal judgment, unlike "What is the 26th letter of the American standardized alphabet?" GAH I just know I'm going to be buying this minion from someone later XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

BlueGreenGrey: whispers be as specific as you possibly can be!

DebiLee: It would be the most commonly used "official" term for it.

DebiLee says common, BGG says specific, and the more specific answer is the less common one. -cries-

It's really not easy, I don't think anyone who lives outside of Pennsylvania would know it. Good thing we can google it. I've never heard of it. And if the answer I put is right, I agree with Topizots and Starshadowk. :.(

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh man this will be easy for most people who live in the states. As for a canadian like me...not so easy...I hope I got it right. The prize is so cute. XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm just jealous that we don't get today off in Florida, only in Pennsylvania I've never heard of this, hope my answer is right. Good luck all!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Got the last one right! Was worried about that one. This one is easy^^ And the prize is too cute!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yes, I put "safe" as well since I figured it had to do with the name of the game. As for this newest one, well it's a real doozie. I agree there are numerous ways to take this. I stumbled across a google page where the school holiday was actually metioned so I went with the name that was specified there. Just a gall-danged mind boggler as my granny used to say! Good-luck everyone

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I DO NOT think I am going to like the outcome of this trivia.. I think there is more than one correct answer .. again.. sigh.. owl flash back

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Aw. Darn. I put "Trivia" for the one yesterday. GENIUS, I SAY! xD

ooh, I live in Pennsylvania~

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

lol - honeybear...me too. I saw the question's wording and I my thought process went along these lines:

"Oooh I know where that's from! Safe Crack! Yay! I win! Uh oh...the format requires one word. Hmmm....okay, I'll submit "Safe"! Yay! I win!"

Many hours later I actually took the time to read what it was asking and realized how much the word "safe" does not answer the question. -fail-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

face/palm I was so stupid with the last one. I just put safe, I wasn't even thinking about the combination.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This trivia is definitely not biased towards Pennsylvanians. In fact, I probably submitted the wrong answer because I am a long-term Pennsylvania resident. Instead of depending on Google, I immediately answered by using the knowledge I've had from living in Pennsylvania for the past 20 years. All of the area newspapers, school newsletters, etc. commonly use one of the specific terms. From what I have gathered by Debi's statements, however, it sounds like she chose to use another term based on the fact that it appeared more often in her online searches.

So, it would appear that some of the answers (probably mine, too) validly answer the question...there is only one answer that will win it. Oh well!
This happens a lot, guys - the system doesn't allow for multiple valid answers, so that's just how it goes.
waits to buy yet another trivia prize, darnit!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

LooneyLupeGirL, if it says you already played, your answer already went through! i.e. you did submit it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but your answer of safe crack for the trivia was incorrect.
oops. xD Took a guess on this one. doesn't live in Pennsylvania

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Noo.. I am so confused I found the answer, but have absolutely no idea how to write it...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

deepinquisition I agree with you that if the answer is to be specific it would be 4 words. I know what it is and I put the only 2 word answer I could think of that can encompass the correct answer. I will be interested to see what turns out as the correct answer as there are 2 general 2 word answers most used.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I found the answer but im not sure of how its formatted XDD;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but your answer of safe for the trivia was incorrect.
Aww, and so close. Oh well. ^^ Better luck this time, I hope.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Darn it, I said 'safe' as the answer for the last one too. I hate getting them wrong when I actually knew it. I guess I'll have to buy a thunder orb then, because I really like it.

I'm pretty sure I got this new one though, I live near Pennsylvania and heard someone talking about this the other day.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well I searched and searched. I have no idea where ya'll are looking cuz everything I found was at least two different things...... Guessed anyway.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

ok now i'm mad... I answered and clicked summit and the site lagged and I clicked summit again just to make sure it went through and I got the "you already played this round" thing.. and I haven't a clue if my answer actually went through the 1st time or not..
I really want and need that prize for my minion gallery.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I got the answer, however I think this trivia question is not only inappropriate but inaccurate. Just overall unfortunate IMO.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

HAHAHA i love how the prize for this one helps a lot ;]

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Event!
Your answer combination for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an Thunder Orb and 123sP

I must say the orb looks much different then I thought it would on the HAs.. I was thinking it would be like all the other staffs, wands,swords ,etc and be hand held with glowing orbs around it..

This new one is making my brain hurt.. I used to live in PA for a few years and now I am gonna have to sit here and make that dang hamster run the wheel and remember days from way back when I was much much younger.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I also found 2 different answers, but if either are right it makes me very sad that a pet site would have a question related to this.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

fails at Google XP

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

For the last trivia I put 'Safe' I was right in the answer but not in how to word it! ' I hate trivia like that...

Hopefully I have worded it right for this new one...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Heck, I live in PA IN the mountains, and I had to search for this one xDD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I hope I get this one right, I googled like mad and got the same answer every time. =)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

stupid triva..../hisses/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i got the last trivia wrong....did anybosy get it right... i put trivia...and if you think about it, it definatly fits...sad

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Good thing I live in PA! =D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Uh...this one doesn't make you think, this one makes you google stuff and then you get to see how good you are at playing eeny-meeny-miney-moe at picking which answer to submit. I've found what I think the answer to be, in 2 words, all pretty specific at least 5 times. Wah.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's a tough trivia. There will be many wrong answers. I think all in all that's the way trivias should be. Challenging. Tricky. Make you think. It's ok, really.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This is a very controversal trivia question, I'm sure whatever the answer is, it will be easily debated as being wrong... not necessarily wrong, but there's a couple answers, there truly is. It's called a few different things universally... so OUCH

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

GRRR - now I'm second-guessing myself and thinking I should have answered the other choice I had. headdesk Well, on the bright side - if we all screw this one up, it'll get reused soon LOL

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So far, I have come up with 2 possible correct solutions and can argue either one with many Google-able examples. I think I'll have to do an Eeny Meeny Miney Moe to pick out which one to put down.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'll never get this one. tries anyway

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Heh, I'm from Ohio and the majority of people I know see today as a Very Important Holiday too (though not sure if schools are among them). I lol'ed at this trivia.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Right On, BlueGreenGrey!!

it's also is the same way for ANY non-subeta related trivia.

If I remember correctly, they did a trivia about Guy Fawkes. Guy Fawkes was not something that had to do with America. In fact, it had to do with England.

So, if you want to see a non-subeta related trivia for another country, submit one.

LOL - America is a big, big, BIG place. PA is one state of 50, and not the entire state of PA even does this, mostly just the rural schools, where it's deemed necessary. So if it's unfair for non-Americans, it's unfair for Michiganders, Floridians, Californians, Alaskans, Hawaiians, Carolinians, Georgians, Texans, New Yorkers, Virginians, etc, etc... and also anyone who lives anywhere in a medium to large sized city. We pretty much ALL have to Google it, and then try to figure out which answer is most specific.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

*mette

Don't worry, us non-pennsylvanians have trouble too.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but your answer of safe for the trivia was incorrect.

Darn it...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yeah, black friday is everywhere on the web...
and be careful with hints Aimee. >.>

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Mette just use google and search it, that's how it's fair.

I'm going with what i found through talking to some game comissioners XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

excuse me, but how is this current Trivia fair for non-americans? 😠

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hmm, a new suit, cool. ^.^

One trivia to go! I Hope I got this one right...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Tis true that there is more than 1 answer though.. it's up to us to chose the right one, though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow, so many people upset because of this trivia.. lol, I just took it lightly, it's just one trivia and to be honest, I don't want the prize that much (then again, I usually only care if the prize is wearable :p). I just answered one of the answers I found, and I'm just curious to know which one will end up right :O
