Hi Jim,
Sure. Same here. There are certain categories on Jeopardy I don't know
anything about as well. I have had some education in opera and classical
music, but I certainly don't know enough about either to be really
competent in either genre. I am only able to pick out the more popular
or well known pieces when I hear them, but for the most part I'm pretty
clueless. :D
Anyway, as you said knowing the solution to a question or puzzle is
pretty pointless. That's why I also haven't created any trivia engines,
puzzle based games, etc. I just couldn't take any pleasure in playing a
game where I knew most of the answers to begin with.
Cheers!

Hi Thomas,
Depending on the category I can answer every question as well. But
due to lack of education or lack of interest there are categories that
I would not know a single question. You know maybe like opera,
classical music, Broadway shows, current movies or current pop
culture. But that is also why I mostly write games with random
elements rather than puzzles. I mean if I know the answers to the
game, where would be the fun for me to play it?
