"worst" indeed
...During the course of several games, we came across numerous questions whose answers were wrong -- for instance: How to breathe during a skydiving freefall? Long deep breaths, short sharp breaths? Neither! The "correct" answer was DO NOT breathe at all, as you will "breathe" through your skin!! Since when can humans breathe through the skin?
Virtually all the driving questions were faulty, and none stipulated automatic vs. manual transmission for questions to which the answers are different depending on that fact.
They did well the write in such a hard-clad disclaimer in the event of injury, as the questions we found with wrong answers were all more or less of a life-or-death nature. Except the UFO one. More often, however, we'd find questions where none of the three proffered answers was quite right, though two or three would have an element of truth.
If they reissue the game, i would suggest two things: first, re-word the questions to account for point-of-view, as in "According to (name of authority), the way to avoid a UFO is..." Secondly, I'd cite, in small print at the bottom of the card, the source for the information.
