I'd be amazed if he DIDN'T play it, in the few locations where it is still available in a playable state.

I was given this on Buckaroo on the weekend:

Who starred in Dancing in the Dark?
A. Bjork
B. Bruce Springsteen

The answer was Bjork. Admittedly 'starred' should have led me to her, but even so, cruddy.

You sure it didn't say dancer?

i'm all for a degree of sophistication in the wrong options but agreed that it is pretty fundamental to the writers getting the question right :roll:

but, given how few bleepers like this there are in the games, they are doing a pretty good job overall imo.
nobody ever wins on those things.

It's true, though some games are better than others. Caesar's Palace is appalling, for instance. That said, AYSTATYO gave me this cracker at lunch:

Which of these is the correct spelling?
A. Similee
B. Similie
C. Simily
D. Can't remember but in order to illustrate the point, Similililililililileeeeeetyy

It's not simily.

I completely agree. I've come to the view that the spelling on CP is so consistently poor that they made it that way to introduce an extra layer of challenge for the player i.e. the player needs to remember whether a given answer is intentionally mis-spelt such that it's not the answer, or whether the mis-spelling is not relevant and it is the answer. Of course, I may be being cynical, but I've not seen any game with spelling as bad as that of CP in 13 years of playing SWPs.

To hopefully complete a week of wack questions, Ronnie O'Sullivan is now personally responsible for this:

Which of these presidents was assassinated?

A. Ford
B. Cadillac
C. Lincoln

I lost two tries again on this question, and that's because the answer it wanted was Cadillac. I do accept some responsibility for playing the ridiculous game in the first place.
