We've noticed the slide in arts questions from arts to pop stars, but Wednesday night had a real clunker. The arts question for one of the matching rounds wanted us to match up European cities with their soccer teams. Actually, it was more a "world" question, because the names of the soccer teams could easily be matched with the cities, so it was no challenge at all. But I wish the question writers would write true arts questions in the arts category.

That sounded like more a Games question.

I agree on the soccer question as Arts. Also, no matter what they might think, another example occured last night. Signs of the zodiac is NEVER a science question!
