Nope, more than 2 were guesses or at least hunches rather than knowns though a couple were also not known but mathematically work outable.

Assuming :heartpulse:2 is correct rather than :heartpulse:1 - I love that! :rofl:. Would not have got :green_heart:3 in an actual game of Trivial Pursuit as it took way too long to work out!

Also, looking at @MsSubExperimenter answers after submitting mine I didn’t read category properly and assumed :yellow_heart:1 was correct! :joy:

Thank you.

:rofl: Clearly 2021 is my year for Trivial Pursuit! Feel a bit of a cheat though as didn’t actually know much but maths helped with a few and random guesses helped with others!

…I swear I don’t actually speak Klingon (though fully respect those that do!) :+1:

And I think cablinasian is Tiger Woods’ ethnicity. :slightly_smiling_face: (Caucasian, Black, American Indian, and Asian)

Edit: it’s actually American Indian, not just Indian. I’ve corrected it :slightly_smiling_face:

I can’t believe you don’t use the forum on your phone. It looks so much better, and it’s much easier to use. If you’ve not tried it already you should definitely give it a whirl. :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

I have also added your score to the board. :+1: I’ve missed reading your answers these past few weeks. :slightly_smiling_face:
