The problem here, as I see it, is not so much the
question format itself, but the practice of giving *every*
30-20-10 question in a tournament a free 40-point guess.
"Name the musician" should get one. "Name the rapper"
should not. Editors and TDs should use more discretion
when applying the 40, or, if they want every 30-20-10
to include a 40, should rewrite the leadin(s) to
open up the possibilities.

<<To fill my role as a trash purist, whatever that
means, I hate 40 point
questions, for this simple
reason.
1) Name the Newsmagazine
It was FYI
- what are there, 20 to choose from, maybe 10 that
are viable
guesses.
2) Name the
movie
Thousands of possibilities
That is what
bugs me about them.>>
