The Big Bang Theory Fact or Fiction Trivia Game, fan edition

We all like watching Big Bang Theory. Sam and I have seen all twelve seasons, and we're currently in the middle of a re-watch with Finn. But I don't think we can be considered Super Fans, and I know none of us has an eidetic memory. As a result, these trivia questions were Too Hard. Even if there's a chance we have a combined IQ of 360, there are too many BBT facts that just can't be retrieved from the recesses of our memories. 

This game would have worked much better for us if the questions had multiple choice answers! As it's decidedly not multiple choice, I suggested getting rid of this game, but Finn was strongly against that idea. So my next suggestion was to give lots of hints (which we basically did this time around, but we could make it official next time) except Sam was strongly against that idea, basically saying "where's the fun in that?" Then Finn suggested that we could each have a super power while playing. His ideas (one person can keep asking until they get it right, one person can have two turns every time...) may not be the ones we go with, but maybe the general idea does have some merit. Anyway, if we do ever play this game again, it will only be with modifications (because the only other option is to watch all the episodes about a half dozen more times, and THAT'S not gonna happen--I mean, sure, we like BBT, but there are other things in life).
