There was an interesting article on trivial pursuit in the September 1984
issue of "The Atlantic".  It talked about all the wrong answers which the
author and his friends and relatives ran into while playing the game.

If I remember right, he blamed many of the errors on the fact that the game
and its questions were formulated in Canada with less rigor towards
History of the USA than he would have liked.
