All of this copy and commentary is from Terry R. from the league team Your Resume Sucks. I’ll do my own “commentary” post in just a jiff…I do no have answers for any of these tournament questions other than the ones I knew off the bat, but in the next couple of days, I plan to try researching them all! Enjoy…

These are the questions from the Michigan Sporcle finals we played on Saturday the 15th. There were maybe close to 30 teams and we recognized several past winners/foes, the atmosphere was fun and loose. There was however a new disturbing trend in the questions, they were overly wordy and sometimes contained several hints that were unnecessary for the level of the competition. Because of this, some questions have been shortened for clarity and because I wanted too.
