Polar bear is correct, its not the first question a quiz machine has got wrong and it won't be the last, very annoying when you know for a fact you are correct.

One from connect 4 :-
Which place is not in Spain?
a) Barcelona
b) Bilbao
c) Vigo.
Machine's answer is c, but they are all in Spain although technically you could argue the answer should be b as it's part of the Basque country.

the other day Bully gave me:
Where is Pink?
a) New York
b) Pennysylvania
c) Los Angeles
I knew she was born and raised in b so went with that but neither myself or the machine could be sure she was there at the exact time the question was asked.

That Vigo one has been around on a few different Channel One games - annoying but at least the most obvious "wrong" answer (i.e. Vigo, because it's obscure) is the wrong one.
Maybe the Pink question that Roger raises (and which I've not seen) is about a town or city called Pink rather than the singer?

According to Wiki there is a Pink in Oklahoma although thats not one of the options

Maybe this is a vision of the future for quiz machines - live questions which are constantly being updated! No need for spoilers then...

Or maybe a quiz machine that can cause noteworthy events remotely, about which it then poses questions.

Sadly you are allways going to get incorrect questions, it is not possible for game testers because of time taken to test a game to go through every question in the game. But if they are spotted and reported the developer usually fixes them.

Pink is a small town in North Eastern Pennsylvania just off I-84 and I-81. Its not too far from New York City. Its one of those typical small American towns with not a great deal there.

Annoyingly I know Celta Vigo play football in Spain though so I put Bilbao as I thought the machine was trying to screw me on a technicality...
