It's not a trivial thing that I'm no good at trivia nights. We just got back from one of the few that I attend through out the year. Out of a hundred questions I'm lucky if I know 3 or 4 answers. I'm better at looking up trivial things on the net rather than pulling them out of my head.
Our group did manage to not finish last but it was close. There were some groups that knew almost every answer, even in the two non question rounds.
Those two rounds were a little of a suprise but were interesting. In the first one (standard ten questions) they handed out a sheet of pictures of 10 buildings around the St. Louis area. You had to identify the building. In the second one they handed out 10 sandwich bags with some candy in each bag. You had to identify the name of the candy. And you got to eat the candy.
Like I said, I knew about 3 or 4 answers. And just in case you ever need to know, a golf cup is 4 1/2 inches wide. I missed it by 1/4 inch.

I usually attend one or two trivia nights per year. They are fun events and the group that Chris and I go with are pretty good. We have always finished in the top three and managed a prize, a couple of times we've won.
I know a few answers (depending on the category) but mostly I'm there because they invite Chris and I fill out the table.
I'm the acknowledged king of useless trivia. I need guys like you on the other team.
