    That sounds like a good idea. The answer to 44 is Great Expectations.

    I'll do the points as soon as I get a chance.

    Maybe. I've never been particularly fond of sports trivia though. Since things invariably boil down to numbers and stats. And I've never been a huge stat-head.

    What I'll probably end up doing is making the clues a bit harder and more riddle-like. I had a couple that were very wordplayish, and will probably go further in that direction. That and not clue-dumping 80 at once. 20-25 at a time is probably a better idea.

    Yeah, I was thinking wordplay on athlete's names. The best of those clues were the TV show ones.

    Well you could answer the current questions just for fun. I can put up the answer key later, or you can just check other people.

    Otherwise, you'll have to wait for another go-around, maybe in a couple of days if I find some time.
