Trivia Pur$uit

In Feburary 1982, when the Trivial Pursuit board game was unveiled at the American International Toy Fair in New York City, only a few hundred copies were sold, instead of the expected thousands. But the craze soon caught on. In 1984, a phenomenonal 20 million copies of the game were sold. A quarter of a century on, not only is the game still popular, you can even download a 60-minute free version at TrivialPursuit.com. I've just tried the online version - and it gives you an interesting twist, whereby you can even ``block'' your opponent's answer if you're good enough and fast enough.
