+--- Thread: Trivial Pursuit question - Please explain (/showthread.php?tid=4444)
- Sweet Angel - 12-15-2002
Okay, spending the evening playing Trivial Pursuit while drinking...yes, I know...geeky.
Anyway, the question is:
What direction would your ship travel in the Panama Canal, going from the Atlantic to the Pacific -- west, southwest or southeast?
My answer was west (or southwest as a second answer), but NOOOOOOO, the answer, according to the card, is Southeast.
Can someone please explain?
***EDIT: Nevermind, I found my answer on Encarta. Seems the makers of the game are right. Damn.

I just looked at a map of the canal, and from what I can tell, you come west from the atlantic, go over,around and then through panama and the canal heading sort of south-east and into the pacific. It all relies on the shape of the country.
By the way, this Is a good Idea for a new thread. Trivial pursuit questions. Just grab some cards and post the questions.

yeah, that central america is a twisty fuck. and i've spent many a night playing trivial pursuit, if not that, risk :fuggin:
i think i even actually have had that question, and probably got it wrong.

i used to play trivial pursuit with my roommates all the time. they think i have memorized all the q and a's, so we no longer play.
