First:  Has anyone seen a list of "all" the wrong answers to Trivial Pursuit?
        I'm interested in this but this newsgroup is wrong for it.  Where
        should we move it to?

Second: I HATE Trivial Pursiut answers, expecially to question like: How
        many XXX do such-and-such to YYY?  Answer: 4  ARRRRRGGGG!!  You
        can think of three of the XXX's but you have no idea if the last
        one is a mistake or what.  The other answers I hate are the wrong
        one's with NO correct answer (see Third:)

Third:  My favorite WRONG answer (actually no correct answer) What two
        colors does a color-blind person have trouble distinguishing?
        Answer: red & green.  WRONG!!!  There is also blue-yellow color
        blindness and a few more (even rarer) kinds.
