Can you name the answer to each multiple-choice trivia question (with a slight twist*)?

Enter an answer in the box below
Correctly named answers will show up below
Answers do not have to be guessed in order
ALERT!: Entering some wrong answers will end the quiz
Also try: Sporcle Pyramid Minefield
*► INSTRUCTIONS: For each question, there's 1 right answer and 4 wrong ones. ONLY ONE of the incorrect answers will end the quiz. The other three are "Safe", and you will be allowed to try a different answer. But the more wrong answers you safely eliminate, the more likely it is that your next one will trigger a mine.
The "mined" answers were chosen entirely at random.

	Very fun quiz! I look forward to more like it.

	Answers do not have to be guessed in order? Then how can you skip a question without answering?

	BonnieH:	Oct 25th, 2012 at 13:27 GMT		2 points
	So the first time, I hit the mine in the very first question with my very first guess. What are the odds? Then I got a string of guessing not only right, but right first out (some I knew, some were educational guesses, one blind guess). Then the basketball hung me up, but I hit the mine first so could avoid it next attempt. Same thing with the last question. Frustrating but fun.

	So frustrating! But a lot of fun :) Finally finished it after four attempts, kept hitting mines first time.

	This quiz illustrates the bad part about sporcle

	cavaliergirl18:	Oct 25th, 2012 at 15:42 GMT		4 points
	I would not have guessed Kwanzaa! This quiz was very educational.

	I think people are a little harsh. Yes this game lends itself to repeated plays, but if you don't like it, quit! druhutch is an editor with lots of published games, so I hardly think he needs to fish for replays. If you check his games, he has games played hundreds of thousands of times, to a game played only 7 times. having said all that, this game is both addictive and informative. Curse you druhutch, the last thing I need is another Sporcle/Internet addiction. Also, as caaliergirl indicated god forbid I should learn something.

	needapausebutton:	Oct 25th, 2012 at 17:55 GMT		20 points
	Yeah, also in "defense" of the author and this clever format: First, it is a knowledge quiz. I believe Sporcle has a few of them. Correctly answering is rewarded. Second, it's a minefield. If you know the answer, you are safe, and you've demonstrated your knowledge. If you hit a mine, you blow up. If you don't like minefield quizzes you don't have to play them. The Red Alert message appears in the game notes. This quiz has the added twist of randomizing the mines, and, unlike most minefield quizzes, you have an 80% chance of moving on even if you have to guess. So it is an "occasional minefield" quiz. To reach the end (if that is a player's ultimate goal) requires LESS replays than other minefields, so there is clearly no intention of fishing for them.

	vikZ:	Oct 25th, 2012 at 18:43 GMT		5 points
	Hey napb, I agree with everything you said, but your math is wrong. It's a 50% to move on if you guess, not 80%. The non-mined wrong answers are just try agains. Only 2 answers actually decide if you move on, the mine (1/2) and the right answer (1/2).

	needapausebutton:	Oct 25th, 2012 at 18:56 GMT		5 points
	Thanks vikZ -- I should have worded it "you have an 80% chance of remaining in the game" (or "not blowing up") -- instead of "moving on". In a typical minefield game where all wrong answers are mines, you'd have only a 20% chance to stay in/move on (given 5 choices). The point is still the same -- less "re-starts" would be required to complete the game.

	Thanks guys, but I understand the criticism in the negative comments and I'm not hurt or anything by them (I've gotten much worse, in any case.) I'll admit I've made quizzes that "fish for plays" before, but that's not what this was supposed to be. My goal was to make something fun that was a twist on the minefield format--needapausebutton put it perfectly: an "occasional minefield". I legitimately wanted people to make it through all the questions. I spent a long time coming up with them and it's frustrating that such a small percentage has even seen the ones toward the end. It turns out that the quiz is just harder than I intended it to be. If you look at the archived comments you'll see this was a concern of mine from the beginning. Since only one of the answers is a mine, I made the questions hard, but it's possible I made them a little too hard. I still like the format and believe it can be made a little more fun and a little less "replay-heavy" by simply choosing easier questions in the future. But thanks for playing it, and thanks for the publish, Sporcle.

	Fluked most of it and got all of them, by luck not knowledge

	gargarale:	Oct 25th, 2012 at 19:41 GMT		2 points
	so I either knew the correct answer or hit the mine on my first attempt at EVERY question. slaps head not my lucky day!

	ianbob:	Oct 25th, 2012 at 20:10 GMT		-1 points
	It seems arbitrary. Am I missing something?

	thegirlnextdoor:	Oct 25th, 2012 at 21:00 GMT		6 points
	Well I for one enjoyed this new minefield format, and I thought the questions were well-balanced in terms of content and difficulty.

	crdimitri:	Oct 25th, 2012 at 21:29 GMT		3 points
	Fun quiz. Thanks!

	DrDolittle:	Oct 25th, 2012 at 22:34 GMT		2 points
	Please please please can you put USA sports questions first so I don't have to do most of the quiz 4 times to get to the last question?! Otherwise was very good fun! Ta!

	Logic:	Oct 25th, 2012 at 23:57 GMT		10 points
	"The 'mined' answers were chosen entirely at random." Bull****. You chose the exact answers you knew I would try first.

	Go to the one about the 90s bands and failed. Are those all real names of bands? That was about the time I started listening to country.

	mallorn_hugger:	Oct 26th, 2012 at 01:58 GMT		1 point
	I am glad this was Sporcle roulette and not real roulette. I would be dead. Several times. If that were possible, that is. ;)

	@Logic: I used an online four-sided die to select the mined answer. For better or worse, it seemed like the best way to do it. @OwningAllUNewbs: That's fair, and I appreciate your honest reply. You have easily the dumbest username I've ever seen on this site. Feel free to vote my comment down, but it is truly awful. (In my opinion.)

	The Shakespeare one is tricky because that's the last of the plays I'd have thought would lack a cross-dresser, considering how wacky it is.

	lancsroyal:	Oct 29th, 2012 at 10:02 GMT		3 points
	The music question is difficult considering I'd only heard of one of those bands. Almost impossible to guess right.

	catcherj:	Oct 29th, 2012 at 18:00 GMT		1 point
	Got the "Fresh Prince" clue on my fourth guess! Hooray for dumb luck!

	mrsmith:	Nov 10th, 2012 at 08:47 GMT		2 points
	Great idea - really liked this one!

	rhomcy:	Dec 16th, 2012 at 03:53 GMT		1 point
	Well the music one was easy for me because I love Spoon, Wilco, The White Stripes, and Neutral Milk Hotel.

	Stran:	Feb 23rd, 2013 at 21:30 GMT		1 point
	I got them all right by some stroke of sheer luck, as there were several answers I didn't know but just make a blind stab at! :-)

	Mehitabel:	May 19th, 2013 at 04:48 GMT		1 point
	I like this format very much. It seems most quizzes are, for me, mostly "knowledge answers" and a few guesses. This one lets me enjoy the feeling of "oh, I know this one!" while at the same time giving me a little leeway for the categories where I know little or nothing. Very entertaining, and it keeps it more fun than frustrating. Thank you, druhutch!
