Sigh sorry guys, todays been a really hectic day...after i finished posting the team names i got up for a little break and got a call from my mom that the neighbors (a couple old folks) had asked me to help them out with a few jobs. Of course, it had to take my whole afternoon...but again, sorry.

And sure, u can pick ur own names.

Im willing to give a hint on the hard one as it is kinda of vague, but not yet. Good luck and i hope you enjoy!


These first few clues aren't so trivia-ish but i promise all the others will be....heres an alternative clue that you may answer in place of a simple clue but not to add on to the max score of 20.
G - 1936, 1948, 1952, 1960, 1964, 1968, 1976, 1984, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008
S - 1972
B - 1988, 2004

This may not seem like it but it IS trivia.  The difficult thing with just asking you questions is you can google the answers...this one is pretty straightforward though.

Again, if i simply asked a question, you could google it with ease....these CLUES will lead you to the topic at hand, and that's where the trivia comes in and the googling begins. I mean honestly, the first two are pretty easy...just work on these for now, i can guarantee you the next set will be the hardest trivia ever.

Pythagoras actually

And this set of clues, i will admit are not really trivia, except for two, ill try to make the next set better.

Btw,

Randomperson52's team: 14 Points
Zyzzyva98's team: 14 points

Alternative question has been answered twice.

Well then, all the top spots are taken, and the 2 top spots on the hard clue, we're leaving the others in the dust -_-. The highest score for the next clan is a 16.
