	It figures that I couldn't remember the green categories...I always miss those when I play the game too!

	leviper:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 17:38 GMT	17 points
	9/9. I like that you broke up the categories. Nice touch.

	I don't care if the layout of this quiz is weird. It was the first quiz for ages I've got 100%. 9 out of 9. Every answer correct! Do I get a cheese?

	@Zalx: I think those category names are from the Family Edition.

	relatively easy quiz for me - and no tricky words to spell. nice to bring my average up!

	RobH:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 17:50 GMT	2 points
	@Zalx. I believe these are the original names for the categories but newer versions have tried renaming them. The 20th Anniversary edition I own, for example, has Global View, Sound & Screen, News, Written Word, Innovations, and Game Time.

	Literature! Darn it. 8/9 to a great quiz.

	Cuthbert_Twilley:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 18:01 GMT	9 points
	My understanding is the original categories were combined in both UK and US versions. I've owned a lot of TP sets and it's always "Sports and Leisure" or "Science and Nature". You should have to enter both for the quiz. It's not like if you're playing you can go to the Sports space if you're up on basketball, but not so well versed in lawn darts.

	easy peasy

	david, how do you feel when people demote YOUR posts? lol im just kidding ;)

	cassykins:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 18:46 GMT	4 points
	@ Cuthbert Twilley - I'm with you! In one of the new versions, the category has become sports and games. If I could choose, I would always head to games. I can tell you the colors in Connect 4 or the number range in BINGO, but I will never be able to tell you which team has won the most Superbowls...

	Six of these are also categories on Sporcle! Should it maybe say which edition is used (Genus if I'm not mistaken)? Or is this one widely accepted as the default?

	@robH don't you know for TP you get a piece of pie!

	cressida:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 19:02 GMT	4 points
	damn it, i forgot leisure! I always call the pieces cheese, not pie!

	beatrix kiddo:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 19:04 GMT	5 points
	Nice. One of the first quizzes I've got 100% on. And i'd like a cheese too - the pink one please, as i can never get the answer to any of those 1950/60s entertainment questions.

	theGrit:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 19:13 GMT	2 points
	I'm amazed that people are complaining about it being broken up. It provided more of a challenge, which I loved. Just enjoy it. It's a game!

	davidr:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 19:15 GMT	-1 points
	@BigThing: At the top of the quiz: `NOTE: Original version categories only.'

	lulubelles:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 19:40 GMT	6 points
	No it's gotta be pie for me!

	BigThing:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 19:40 GMT	6 points
	@davidr: Hence the question if it should specify and say "Genus edition" instead, as "original version" is not an official name.

	crazyguy:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 20:08 GMT	3 points
	Should make a quiz with all the TP versions categories. That would be hard.

	Interesting tidbit: In today's 5 quizzes, Davidr has made 14 comments. His comments have been rated a combined -125, with an average rating of about -8.9 per comment. He has only 2 comments with positive ratings. Just saying...

	BigThing:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 20:34 GMT	5 points
	Just saying you have too much time on your hands...?

	Tim_Allen:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 20:35 GMT	11 points
	We're at Sporcle. We all have too much time on our hands.

	BigThing:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 20:47 GMT	6 points
	That may be true, but still you are spending it on pointing out someone's supposed impopularity. Someone who contributed a lot of good quizzes for you to enjoy here, no less. Don't you think that's a bit uncalled for?

	apeminkie:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 21:05 GMT	6 points
	Perhaps Sporcle should take their own quiz on "Plurals". CATEGORYS? Seriously? :)

	davidr:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 21:05 GMT	5 points
	@BigThing: It wouldn't hurt to say "Genus edition" and, sure, "original version" isn't the official name but it is unambiguous. There was only one first version of TP.

	Tim_Allen:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 21:20 GMT	-1 points
	@BTWHII: Nah, not uncalled for...his quizzes, for the most part, are fine and I enjoy them. I've complimented him for them on several occasions. But that has nothing to do with his comments, which I find (most of the time) to be annoying and pompous. And I was just pointing out that I am not the only one with that opinion...

	ntnon:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 21:39 GMT	7 points
	One minor comment - the colo(u)rs on the answer page are a mixture of names and codes, which is odd. More importantly, please can "SPORT" singular be accepted for us English folk?

	DRB:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 21:53 GMT	5 points
	dammit 8/9 only missed arts because i didn't think to use the s at the end!

	Emily_Howard:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 21:55 GMT	5 points
	Missed leisure :/ I've only played the Icelandic version, tried both recreation and hobbies for a translation, no luck ;)

	nobullship:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 22:26 GMT	5 points
	wow why has everyone been hating on davidr?.. 99% of the time he has helpful comments

	DerKomissar:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 22:30 GMT	6 points
	Man, I love Trivial Pursuit! Such a good game

	Im sticking up for davidr! I don't think Ive seen him make an ivalid point on this site as of yet. He picks out some specific minute details on things, but surely if you are here, then you are the kind of trivia buff who enjoys that kind of thing!
