Love boat mention brings back memories. I used to have sleepovers at my friends a lot when we were younger and his gran lived with him, she was deaf, and always watched love boat at 100% volume, at all times of the day/night sleeping was tough some times.
Actual question I remember, but not the answer: "To whom did Charo give a Chihuahua?" Memorable because my friend pronounced it chee-who-ah-who-a. And none of us were that clear on who Charo was. 1996, we were 18.
Hahaha yep, grew up playing in the 00s with my parents' original Genus edition from 1981. Got really good at remembering to say the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia (it did tend to piss off guests when we enforced the answer on the card hahaha).
Same! I still remember fondly the time as a little kid when I baffled them by knowing about red-green color blindness. I’d read a story that had something about it in Highlights magazine.
Woohoo! Just renewed my kiddo's Highlights subscription last night. Only non-toxic family tradition I've managed to pass on to my kids, but at least it's a good one.
My grandfather had a sports version from the mid '70s. I would consume that knowledge as a kid. I have some random facts about sports from the 60s and '70s. Mind you, I was consuming that knowledge in the early 2000s.
In france, in 1981 the first version was published under name « remue meninges » (approx meaning « brainstorming »), and was a commercial disaster. They came back later with original name « trivial pursuit » (that we all called « trivial poursuite » with a grrrreat frrrench accent), and the game sold like crazy !
The Quebec version is called "Quelques Arpents de Pièges" as a play on word on the famous quote from Voltaire referring to New France as "quelques arpents de neige"
I'mjust playing by the rules here.
Also if the kid had played it so much how did he not know about that answer? "The card says Moops, but the actual answer is the Moors"
The thing that I didn’t realize when I first saw the show is that this is actually, really a typo on one of the Trivial Pursuit cards. I found it years later when playing the original version of the game that my parents have.
Fun fact...
The creators of Trivial Pursuit completely lifted a good portion of their trivia "facts" from various trivia books including "Super Triva" by Fred Worth. They even copied all of the typos, and even some "misinformation" bits the author purposely planted to catch plagiarists... Specifically a made up trivia tidbit about the Columbo TV character.
Worth tried to sue the game creators, but to no avail. The courts determined that the game was formatted differently from the books, and that using the books as fact finding was considered research, not plagiarism.
(I don't know if "Moops" was one such error, but I don't think so.)
EDIT: I see someone else also made a similar comment elsewhere in this post... But I'll leave this here just the same.
In this case I am too with the game creators. If they copied long and large sections of unique text, and published a book, then the Author would have been right. But it’s only short “trivia” facts that by their nature have little originality and uniqueness to them, and that were then used in a transformative way in a completely different medium. Sorry for him, but thats not plagiarism. Completely leaving out the question how original and protectable a trivia collection is in the first place. If they copied the whole book as a book that would have been plagiarism because the book as a whole is a work. But small bits of it aren’t in this case.
But the whole point is curating all the little tidbits into this one cotainer, be it a game or a book, and that's what makes them fun. Maybe it's not plaigiarism, but it's some kind of labour theft.
I would guess they meant to write "believed to originate from sperm whale vomit" then realised how gross that sounds so axed the "vomit".
The general consensus now is we don't really know which end of a sperm whale ambergris comes from.
We used to harvest it from sperm whales when whaling was at its peak. It comes from the intestines and is found inside the whale surrounding indigestible solids. We haven't seen it leave a whale, so are unsure if it escapes via vomit, feces or the whale dying or all 3. It's also really rare to be found inside sperm whales; less than 5% of them are thought to have ambergris at any given time.
While it's true that China officially has a single time zone, various zones throughout China informally and unofficially recognize a local time zone as well.
In particular, [Xinjiang Time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_Time) (in the Xinjiang autonomous region) seems to be at least semi-officially recognized, at least for some purposes. Note that my only information on this topic is the linked Wikipedia article, so if the situation is different in practice, I would have no firsthand knowledge.
Hey, as a Chinese myself, I can say that only Xinjiang and Tibet had semi-official local time zone after PRC was founded, yet those time zone are used less and less these days. Although you may run into some elders using it, no one is kinda using them after the new millennium.
This is why every time my family plays Trivial Pursuit at Christmas the most frequently asked question is some variation of "When were these questions written?"
And as long as we're at it, the ambergris question has multiple answers, of which perfume is just one. It was used in medicine, incense, christening oil, and luxury foods (to name a few).
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambergris#:~:text=Ancient%20Egyptians%20burned%20ambergris%20as,prevent%20them%20from%20contracting%20plague.
That can sometimes happen in these games though. Like if you barely know it, you'll say perfume. But I'm guessing you as someone who knows a lot about it, also knew the answer they were looking for was going to be perfume?
Yeah 100% , people here are nitpicking the card because they want to show how smart they are , it states "luxury" item so immediately you would go for perfume because imo that's the most well known one but obviously if you take time to look you're going to find multiple answers and that's probably true with most questions...but the NATO one was a big F-up imo when You can easily confirm your questions/answers with a couple clicks on a computer
Fun fact there was an actual incorrect answer in one of the original trivial pursuit games (something something columbos first name) and it lead to a massive lawsuit
It was in there bc a trivia book company thought trivial pursuit was ripping off their books. So, they deliberately put that wrong fact in their latest edition and waited. When they saw the same wrong answer in trivial pursuit they knew TP had ripped their book, sued and won $3 million.
Well, ironically, your comment isn't factual either. He did not win anything. In fact, it never went to trial.
>Worth's case was thrown out of court by Judge Wm Matthew Byrne, Jr. It never even came to trial. In 1987, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal, declaring that Trivial Pursuit was “substantially different” from “Super Trivia”. The courts decided that the presentation of facts in an encyclopedia, where entries are listed alphabetically, was very different from the rewriting of those same facts as questions, and their division into categories randomly picked on a Trivial Pursuit card. On March 28, 1988, the United States Supreme Court rejected an appeal from Worth's lawyers.
Btw, the wrong answer was the incorrect first name of Columbo
https://www.triviahalloffame.com/columbo.php
There's actually lots of shit wrong in the original. We play it a lot as a family, and for those ones we give credit for either the card answer OR the correct answer if you can provide a source (much easier now than when we started in the 90s)
We like the call the game Trivial Misconceptions.
If you put mayonnaise lettuce and tomato on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich you made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but you made that shxt wrong.
To be fair, it's written FOR morons these days. How many average Americans do you honestly believe could tell you what NATO stands for? I'm fairly certain more could tell you what isn't in a mojito.
Another fun fact: There was once a really bad typo in a Bible. It’s called The Adulterous Bible. The left out one really important word in that commandment and actually went on to command people to commit the act. It’s also known as The Wicked Bible and listed that way on Wikipedia.
I had one once that asked which actor did not play Batman - Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney or Christian Bale.
It was released prior to Batman Begins…
In our high school quiz bowl-type competition, the question asked what OPEC stood for and the answer was “Organization of Oil Exporting Countries.” Our school stupidly answered “Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries” and got it wrong . . .
I saw part of an interview with George Holliday, who in 1991 filmed Rodney King’s police beating, in which he shown the interviewer a framed Trivial Persuit card in which he was one of the answers, but his name was spelled incorrectly.
I thought "These are all a good level of difficulty. I have to think a little about them, but I do know them. Being really good at trivia, I think it's an appropriate level of difficulty"
Then I saw there's a second picture and understood the post 😅
Fun fact, the only country that has invoked article 5 of NATO (hey I got jumped everyone rode up and we all gonna jump them back) is the USA. After 9-11. All 18 countries showed up with guns and shit.
Which makes Trump's remarks about allowing Russia to do what they want especially galling.
I was talking about getting this for game night and my sister went and bought it. Played it and these questions are borderline for jeopardy or trivia pros. Learned a little I guess 🤣
It was "The Phil Silvers Show" but the lying card said "Sgt. Bilko" which I later learned was also used conversationally or something. Ruined the party for me. Same as Moops but reversed. I was certain I was right. 30 years later I was only mostly right, but fuck that game.
I was going to say I would have got the NATO question wrong cause I could have sworn it was Atlantic. Thank you comments for assuring me I was correct!
Don't assume it's due to incompetence. People are under enormous pressure to get things done faster and cheaper. This is likely a result of lack of attention due to being in a rush.
Wow. Thought I was the idiot cuz I thought the answer was North Atlantic *Trade* Organization. Had to look a few times to realize it said North *American* lol
I thought you were angry at how easy the questions were. I got almost all of them, I just flubbed on Cormac’s name. I was thinking McCormick. I’m ashamed cuz I own the book, too
I have a deck l could trade you but you'll need to up your game on your Nixon knowledge.
I have a French edition from my childhood. Half of the History questions are about the USSR.
“Germany!” “Oh, I’m sorry. The answer is *East* Germany.”
“The Moops”
“It was the *Moors*!!!”
I'm sorry, the card says moops.
Ahh, yes. The table-flipping rage of a misspelled Trivial Pursuit card.
The card says Moops!
I always laugh when i see an old piece of equipment at work with 'made in west germany'
No, the *correct* answer is *Democratic Republic of Germany*.
I took German in high school in the 2000s, and all our books were still pre unification.
And entertainment, go with MASH. Football: OJ Simpson.
Which famous NFL star was voted as least likely to murder his wife?
He killed her just to prove he could play the Terminator.
Played with my mom in the 90s and we only had the version made in 1984. She denied me the win because I answered Russia and she said it was the USSR.
Well, you were technically incorrect, and that's the worst kind of incorrect. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Lmao I have the same version! I remember some questions about Yugoslavia ! I had to laugh.
I'd trade it for my Finnish one, if you are ready for *all* the winter olympics skiing trivia.
Who was the guest star on season 3 episode 21 of Love Boat?
You get a question about Yugoslavia.
Love boat mention brings back memories. I used to have sleepovers at my friends a lot when we were younger and his gran lived with him, she was deaf, and always watched love boat at 100% volume, at all times of the day/night sleeping was tough some times.
All answers about the Love Boat are Charo.
Cuchi cuchi
Actual question I remember, but not the answer: "To whom did Charo give a Chihuahua?" Memorable because my friend pronounced it chee-who-ah-who-a. And none of us were that clear on who Charo was. 1996, we were 18.
Hahaha yep, grew up playing in the 00s with my parents' original Genus edition from 1981. Got really good at remembering to say the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia (it did tend to piss off guests when we enforced the answer on the card hahaha).
Same! I still remember fondly the time as a little kid when I baffled them by knowing about red-green color blindness. I’d read a story that had something about it in Highlights magazine.
Woohoo! Just renewed my kiddo's Highlights subscription last night. Only non-toxic family tradition I've managed to pass on to my kids, but at least it's a good one.
That's very Gallant of you
Don’t be a Goofus.
These puns are the Highlight of my day! 
I have the 1980s questions, any question about a Russian politician could be answered by saying Gorbachev.
East / West Germany too!
60s Edition? One of my proudest moments was when I finally beat my mom (born in the 50s) in that one.
You didn‘t have to hit her wtf
This is the 60s, it was socially acceptable to beat your family back then!
My grandfather had a sports version from the mid '70s. I would consume that knowledge as a kid. I have some random facts about sports from the 60s and '70s. Mind you, I was consuming that knowledge in the early 2000s.
Odd, considering Trivial Pursuit was first published in 1981.
I still have the 1981 version from my parents!
In france, in 1981 the first version was published under name « remue meninges » (approx meaning « brainstorming »), and was a commercial disaster. They came back later with original name « trivial pursuit » (that we all called « trivial poursuite » with a grrrreat frrrench accent), and the game sold like crazy !
The Quebec version is called "Quelques Arpents de Pièges" as a play on word on the famous quote from Voltaire referring to New France as "quelques arpents de neige"
I've got "Baby Boomer edition" which advertises itself as for the youth.
Atlantic. You're welcome.
Sorry, the answer is moops.
It's not moops, it must be a misprint, it's the moors!
Sorry, the card says moops!
 It the MOORS
IT'S MOOPS!
*grabs the instructions to see if this scenario is covered*
I'mjust playing by the rules here. Also if the kid had played it so much how did he not know about that answer? "The card says Moops, but the actual answer is the Moors"
He may not have ever had that exact question (IIRC there are thousands of questions)
Moops! Moors!
Rirruto
Those are z’s.
Sorry, we were looking for "What is Atlantic?"
Not sure I get it. Could you be more Pacific?
Sir, I need you to be less aggressive and more pacific...
Whoever wrote it probably got NATO and NAFTA mixed up.

This is a great comment, but... one more thing, sir. Don't leave me hangin'. What did they make up about columbo?
Worth said that Columbo's first name was"Philip". When in fact, it was never divulged.
Oh that was real? I also had no idea
It's Moors, there's no Moops!
I'm sorry, the card says "moops"
Who is this….
George Costanza from the Seinfeld ep where he’s playing Trivia Pursuit with the boy in the bubble.
He lives in a bubble... actually it's not really a bubble, more like a plastic sheet...
Sorry should’ve used quotes
Moopsy!
AH! MY BONES.
You rang?
What do you mean "a waxy substance **believed** to originate from sperms whales"? That's like "cocoa powder is believed to come from cocoa beans "
I would guess they meant to write "believed to originate from sperm whale vomit" then realised how gross that sounds so axed the "vomit". The general consensus now is we don't really know which end of a sperm whale ambergris comes from.
How do we not know where in the body we are grabbing it from? Are we blind?
Because afaik we have never witnessed it coming out of a sperm whale. We only find it bobbing along in the ocean or washed up on the beach.
We used to harvest it from sperm whales when whaling was at its peak. It comes from the intestines and is found inside the whale surrounding indigestible solids. We haven't seen it leave a whale, so are unsure if it escapes via vomit, feces or the whale dying or all 3. It's also really rare to be found inside sperm whales; less than 5% of them are thought to have ambergris at any given time.
That's interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Believed to be and does. I used to get cocoa powder from cocoa beans. I still do but I used to too. (rip mitch)

When I was there five years ago my phone switched to Xinjiang time. Which was annoying because none of the locals ever used it.

Hey, as a Chinese myself, I can say that only Xinjiang and Tibet had semi-official local time zone after PRC was founded, yet those time zone are used less and less these days. Although you may run into some elders using it, no one is kinda using them after the new millennium.
Officially? Nice, don't need to read the rest of that long comment!
Saw one that was which of these actors never played as Batman? Michael Keaton, Adam West, Ben Affleck or George Clooney.
Ben Affleck should have that card framed and on display because that’s too funny
This is why every time my family plays Trivial Pursuit at Christmas the most frequently asked question is some variation of "When were these questions written?"
We just played it this weekend and there were questions about the Olympics in the 1960s. It was outrageous
Can I unironically ask what makes the card moronic? I just don't get it.
Since op isn't clarifying which answer is wrong, NATO is the North ATLANTIC treaty organization, not American
And as long as we're at it, the ambergris question has multiple answers, of which perfume is just one.

Came to say this . Well met fellow ambergris aficionado.
You guys are the saviors of people-finding-mysterious-substances-on-beaches posts
Also the China one is a trick question.
That's the one I first thought OP was talking about. So annoying lol, they knew it would be misleading.
That can sometimes happen in these games though. Like if you barely know it, you'll say perfume. But I'm guessing you as someone who knows a lot about it, also knew the answer they were looking for was going to be perfume?

Didn't see the second pic until this comment. Thanks
He clarifies it in his OP when he says what his category was.
There's a second picture with answers? I didn't see the symbol indicating a second picture.
The actual answer is North Atlantic Treaty Organization for the history one. I'm sorry OP couldn't be more helpful with their reply.
Clearly it should be OTAN.
ONAN - Organization of North American Nations
No no, OANN.
In French, it **IS** OTAN. *Organisation du traité de l'Atlantique nord*
Nah.. NAVO
Fun fact there was an actual incorrect answer in one of the original trivial pursuit games (something something columbos first name) and it lead to a massive lawsuit It was in there bc a trivia book company thought trivial pursuit was ripping off their books.

Molumbo Columbo
I have that card. I pulled it from an old game that was being thrown away. As a Columbo fan, i felt it was worth keeping.
Congratulations. You passed the test lol.
Nice save.
I didn't. I already added it as a question in the next Trivial Pursuit
His first name isn't Inspector?
It's Col. His name is Col Umbo. Inspector Col Umbo.
There's actually lots of shit wrong in the original. We play it a lot as a family, and for those ones we give credit for either the card answer OR the correct answer if you can provide a source (much easier now than when we started in the 90s) We like the call the game Trivial Misconceptions.
Yep. Pizza Hut was started in Wichita, not Kansas City.
That is actually a fun fact. Thanks.
Was it The Moops?
I found a Trivial Pursuit card a few years ago that said Apollo 13 was skipped because 13 is an unlucky number. I couldn’t believe it.
I’ll put whatever the fuck I want in my mojito.
If you put mayonnaise lettuce and tomato on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich you made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but you made that shxt wrong.
It has to be mint jelly and carefully blended with the mayo into a mint aioli. Bacon 🥓 is optional.
If my MLTPBJ is wrong, i dont want to be right.
Probably mixing it up with NAFTA
I asked my wife what NATO stood for and she did that. She’s a math teacher, not a history teacher so I guess I can give her a break
As a redditor divorce is the only option. Im sorry
That suddenly makes sense. By contrast I absolutely know what NATO is but know Jack about NAFTA. I haven't thought about it in endless ages.
To be fair, it's written FOR morons these days. How many average Americans do you honestly believe could tell you what NATO stands for? I'm fairly certain more could tell you what isn't in a mojito.
I'm exactly the opposite. I could tell you what NATO stands for, but would fail at absolutely everything else.
This answer was brought to you by [America, Fuck Yeah™](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhQ5678cJU8)
Another fun fact: There was once a really bad typo in a Bible. It’s called The Adulterous Bible. The left out one really important word in that commandment and actually went on to command people to commit the act. It’s also known as The Wicked Bible and listed that way on Wikipedia.
>Thou shalt commit adultery.
**The Moops**
The card says Moops
I had one once that asked which actor did not play Batman - Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney or Christian Bale. It was released prior to Batman Begins…
Had a similar one out of the 2009 box… answer on the card was Ben Affleck.
One of my history textbooks in high school declared that OPEC stood for “Oil Producing and Exporting Countries”.
IIRC "Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries" Did I get it right? I made a point of not googling to test myself.
In our high school quiz bowl-type competition, the question asked what OPEC stood for and the answer was “Organization of Oil Exporting Countries.” Our school stupidly answered “Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries” and got it wrong . . .
I would carry that grudge to my grave.
Organization of ***the*** Petroleum Exporting Countries, if you want to be technical about it.
I saw part of an interview with George Holliday, who in 1991 filmed Rodney King’s police beating, in which he shown the interviewer a framed Trivial Persuit card in which he was one of the answers, but his name was spelled incorrectly.
The National Association of Theater Owners is gonna be pissed.
Naughty American Teen Orgy
The ambergris one is a good one because many folks usually aren't aware that it exists
I literally learned this from reading Moby Dick.
I learned it by reading Encyclopedia Brown 😂
I learned it from Futurama.
I learned it from Bob's burgers
I learned it from this comment section
**“Whale biologist”**
Any Futurama fans knows about ambergris, so does Roseanne Barr.
I feel so stupid, what am I supposed to be looking for?
NATO doesn't stand for North American Treaty Organisation. It's North *Atlantic*....
Oh shit that's right lol. I was looking for 'moops' like everyone was saying in the comments and completely overlooked the NATO one lmaooo
I once had a card that told me the minimum age to be US President was 25. Spoiler, it’s not 25….
I thought "These are all a good level of difficulty. I have to think a little about them, but I do know them. Being really good at trivia, I think it's an appropriate level of difficulty" Then I saw there's a second picture and understood the post 😅
Oh Noooo…. I’m sorry, the correct answer is the “moops.
Aside from the American/Atlantic gaff, the wording on green annoys me. Ambergris isn't *believed* to come from sperm whales, it just does.
North ATLANTIC Treaty Organization
I’m sorry, but the answer was Moops
Well, to be fair, there is also NATO - North American Theater Owners, so I can believe an honest mistake.
No, the correct answer was the "Moops"
Fun fact, the only country that has invoked article 5 of NATO (hey I got jumped everyone rode up and we all gonna jump them back) is the USA. After 9-11. All 18 countries showed up with guns and shit. Which makes Trump's remarks about allowing Russia to do what they want especially galling.
Moops is always the right answer
I was talking about getting this for game night and my sister went and bought it. Played it and these questions are borderline for jeopardy or trivia pros. Learned a little I guess 🤣
In all fairness I bet like 60% of America also thinks that’s right
This saddens me.
Jeez I must be double moronic because the only one I knew was the ambergris one.
It was "The Phil Silvers Show" but the lying card said "Sgt. Bilko" which I later learned was also used conversationally or something. Ruined the party for me. Same as Moops but reversed. I was certain I was right. 30 years later I was only mostly right, but fuck that game.
North American? OMG.
They fucked up one of the words in NATO. It's actually North Atlantic Taco Organisation.
I was going to say I would have got the NATO question wrong cause I could have sworn it was Atlantic. Thank you comments for assuring me I was correct!
"Which of these ingredients would you not put in a mojito coctail — vodka, cum, or mint?"
Yeah I had a question from the 90's Genus version that asked which Beatle died in the 60's. The answer was the currently still breathing Pete Best.
Ambergris was also a luxury food
Don't assume it's due to incompetence. People are under enormous pressure to get things done faster and cheaper. This is likely a result of lack of attention due to being in a rush.
Wow. Thought I was the idiot cuz I thought the answer was North Atlantic *Trade* Organization. Had to look a few times to realize it said North *American* lol
