quote:57. How many "Triple Word" squares are there on a standard Scrabble board? 8
How bizarre. Presuming the authors of that question don't play Scrabble and just counted the number of triple word squares labelled as such on the board, not knowing that the center pink star is also triple word score.
Pro tip: If you become a cruise ship trivia host, throw out this questions. Chairs could be thrown and hosts burst into tears if grizzled elderly trivia players get going over this one.
