Several years ago, I was playing at a bar known for attracting weirdos and fringe types. Had a near-perf going and punched the last answer in and headed for the loo. On returning, I had missed the question. WHAT? Turned out two anti-trivia types down the bar had hustled over and punched another answer in, blowing my game. They got cussed out properly. Outrageous!

A couple years ago the maker of an interactive trivia game system replaced their beloved half-hour fifteen question format with a much hated fifteen minute ten question format.

I once played a 20 year old board game where the questions were topic, and had things like, "Who is the President of the United States?"

IIRC, my answer was George W. Bush, and I was incorrect, as it was Carter (I think).

I agree that would suck. Hopefully we will all, from now on, wait until the answer shows and we "earned" the points before we walk away from our box. I've done that in bars where I've never been before, just to make sure my last answer counts
