[quote name=\'SamJ93\' date=\'May 2 2004, 09:59 PM\'] Interestingly enough, I saw a game called "Beat the Experts" at Barnes & Noble a couple days ago that centered around this concept...according to the back of the box, you're given a category and 10 (or similar number thereof) questions, and then see how you stack up to the answers of an "expert" in the field (Buzz Aldrin for astronomy, Dr. Joyce Brothers for psychology, etc.) It looked kind of fun, really (and similar to "Beat the Geeks," I guess, except for using actual celebrities).

You wanna know how old this concept really is? I have a hardback quiz book called Ask Me Another from 1927. It's a series of trivia quizzes, and probably one of the first of its kind. And for most of its quizzes, the editors posted the score of some notable public figure of the day for you to compare with.
