Wow... I must be retarded. There are so many different ways to win that it makes me confused as to what is actually going on.

Double wow. These games are in no way fun whatsoever. Very low budget. You would think they might have tried to do something mildly interesting like the trivia games on those touch screen things they have at bars.

Try the hot streak. You don't even need to read the questions if you know your sports figures. When I did the baseball category 3 of the possible 4 answers on my first 15 questions were not even baseball players.

Yeah, everything about it is stupid. That's why I was just aiming for 120.

Yeah, I read the rules afterwards, and saw the different total requirements/goals. It's just a weird game, the questions aren't hard, so it's pretty much just a mouse clicking contest.

I like the questions that look hard at first glance, like:

Who started for the Yankees in their 1934 home opener?

A) Michael Jordan
B) Hakeem Olajuwon
C) John Smithers
D) Joe Montana

That looks to be a lock for a $1 prize. Unlikely to get the $2 or $5 prize, though.
