    Angry Another wrong trivia answer!!!!

    The Trivia question at 8 pm tonight... Asks Which of these is NOT one of Aesop's Fables?

    The Dog in the Manger

    The Boy and the Filberts

    The Sparrow and the Lemon

    The Ant and the Dove
    They CHOSE: The Sparrow and the Lemon

    I went to WIKIPEDIA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesop's_Fables and it clearly says: Fables wrongly attributed to Aesop

    The Bear and the Gardener
    Belling the cat (also known as The Mice in Council)
    The Blindman and the Lame
    The Boy and the Filberts
    Chanticleer and the Fox
    The Dog in the Manger
    The Elm and the Vine
    The drowned woman and her husband
    The Fox and the Cat
    The Gourd and the Palm-tree
    The Hawk and the Nightingale
    Jumping from the frying pan into the fire
    The milkmaid and her pail
    The miller, his son and the donkey
    The Monkey and the Cat
    The Priest and the Wolf
    The Scorpion and the Frog
    The Shepherd and the Lion
    Still waters run deep
    The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
    SO, I CHOSE The Dog in the Manger
    And they MARKED it WRONG... ACTUALLY I could have chose "The Boy and the Filberts" too as it is on this list too!!! WONDER WHY they keep doing these that the answers are incorrect? I emailed them and lets see what they say!!! REALLY BUGS ME AND guess there is a reason why they are saying that only 50% of the people are getting this right!!! OH PLEASE some one give us some questions that have the correct answers! NOTHING like actually taking the time & looking the correct answers up and then getting GSN to tell you that you just got the correct answer wrong!!!

    Where was your reference page? Was it different than mine? Wonder why they keep using questions that have so many "CORRECT" answers???? Are we suppose to GUESS which ANSWER they want when there are MORE THAN ONE??? I never saw their 'answer' ANYWHERE!!! It ticks me off when we have to then FIGHT with them to get them to give up the Oodles! AS I stated (in my first Post) I too EMAILED them and gave them ALL the Information listed above so I hope they give me the 50 oodles too... I wonder if anyone else will try to get GSN HELP to give back their OODLES? IF there are 50% getting this wrong.. they can use my LINK listed above... The CONTENTS OUTLINE (In BLUE) At the top of the page on that link, shows right where the Correct answers are on that page of Wikipedia. it says: CONTENTS: 7.1 Fables wrongly attributed to Aesop

    I agree Rose, & Oodles are hard to get! Oh! & How about THE SAME EXACT 10 people EVERYDAY with the top ten scores in Straws? I have played it everyday, done the loops , but can never get anywhere near those scores, but in their prize collections, you will see very valuable items, believe me!

    Google searches say Tiger, and since Liger isn't a choice, it's not wrong. Most people have never heard of a Liger as it's a manmade crossbreed.
    Have account questions or concerns? Write: help@gsn.com

    Tigons and Ligers have been a NATURAL EVENT for a VERY LONG TIME... It's only more recent times that MAN has been trying to bred them on Purpose. When the Asiatic Lion was prolific, the territories of lions and tigers did overlap.
