I get it. It's just an informal thing to hang out and answer some questions. But when I was on thy panorama this spring, I went to Harry Potter trivia. I love HP. So does my sister. There were a ton of teens and kids there who clearly do too.
My group missed 3-4 questions and they were very hard. Unsurprisingly, about 5 claimed to have gotten every question right, including a group of adults who also claimed a perfect score on the name that pop diva trivia that was immediately before the HP trivia.
So the trivia host (ironically a British person who knew literally nothing about HP or how to pronounce anything, but that didn't bother me) asks the 5 perfect score groups to nominate their most talented Potter nerd for a tie break. Each group sent up 1 person. The question was how many knuts are in a galleon. This is like asking how many pennies are in a $100 bill, except much harder because Wizarding money makes no sense.
The answer for context is 493. I didn't know it but anybody who has read HP would know it was a lot.
The 4 losing answers ranged from 5 to 100 and then one guess of 500. The group that claimed a perfect score on divas and HP said 5! I'd say it's the equivalent to being asked how many US presidents have there been and answering 833. If you know enough about HP to answer even 50% of the questions correctly, you know it isn't 5.
The person who guessed 500 came from one of the clearly Potter-crazed groups. Perhaps they got a perfect score. But the other four clearly cheated.
Anyway, this is my long rant on a very small issue. I wish carnival could grade the trivia answers instead of groups self-grading.
