I've gotten four questions asking what year something happened, e.g. the year Superman II came out. I've missed three of them. The only other one I missed was due to a system failure.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Yeah, I've gotten more than my fair share of physical Science questions. I should exempt it, but I want to learn stuff.silvercamaro wrote:During the month of May, I have received at least 8 (and I think 9)questions on Music and Musicians, 7 of which involved rock/pop musicians, songs and albums of the past decade, most of which I've never heard. Given the number of categories, this seems beyond mathematical probability.kayrharris wrote:I officially protest! I just got my 3rd consecutive Physical Science question.
I answered them all correctly, although 2 were WTF guesses.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

I often laugh at their notion of what "physical science" is, as well. When you get a question about which of these is not one of the DNA bases, that ain't "physical" science. They ought to just call it general science and be done with it.
