It cannot be the only incorrect queston in Trivial Persuit,  after all
there are a whole lot of them.  Here's another:

	Q. What's the longest suspension bridge in the world?

	A. The Verrazano Narrows Bridge.

Wrong,  The Humber suspension bridge in Great Britain which was completed
in 1982 is 42 feet longer, and I understand that another in Japan is now
or will soon be longer than that.

The problem with basing games on superlatives is that they get out of date
very quickly.

(Who holds the record for the greatest number of strikeouts for a rookie
pitcher in a major league baseball?, or who has the highest strikeout average
per nine innings?...   records will keep falling...)
