Trivial Pursuit has many incorrect answers in it.  Most of them are wrong
because they were worded incorrectly, like the example above.  

Here is a good example, the question reads:

"What surface area do you get when you slice a solid sphere?"

The answer given is "a circle" which is incorrect for several reasons.
How many can you name?
