So you want to play trivia like Gubber. heres a couple of handy hints.
1. When the answer to a question is obviously the name of a state, choose California
2. When the answer is obviously a President, choose FDR.
3. Study up on South America. Paraguay, Peru, Argentina, Columbia. Although Brazil and Ecquador come up less than you'd think.
4. If the question is similar to the form, "How many xxxx did something?" consider zero and one as answers.
5. If the question is of the form How many out of every 5 xxx's did something, do not pick 0 or 5. 1 or 4 is your best bet here.
6. In first position it is not always a good idea to throw out a guess. It may pop a light on in the head of your opponent. In 2nd position, always guess something.
7. The Robbo/Clue rule. If in first position and asked to list items, do not list any until you have the entire list.
8. Ross Perot pops up more than you'd think.
9. In 2nd position guesses at sports questions, its a good idea to go with people obvious in the sport. Hockey - Gretzky, Baseball - Babe Ruth, Basketball - Jordan, Golf - Tiger, Olympics - Jesse Owens.
10. TV and Movie questions. Again, pick obvious choices for the time period of the question.
