Score Dispute

Every so often our human-ness peeks through the "Veil of Geek" that our question writers drape themselves in. In week 4's Super 6 round we asked this question:

"What was the best selling music single, earning Billboard's '#1 song of 1985'?"

While we were shooting for the answer of "We are the World" as displayed in the Answer round of the quiz, unfortunately the question was written poorly and confused some teams. "We are the World" was indeed the best selling single of 1985, but it seems that it did not earn a "#1 Song of 1985" designation. Billboard's "#1 Song" at the close of a given year, goes to the song that sits at the top of their Hot 100 chart. In 1985, that song happened to be "Careless Whisper".

We humbly admit that that question wasn't phrased the best it could have been, and we are giving teams that answered "Careless Whisper" a +4 for that question. (Teams that answered "We are the World" will not be losing any points)

We sincerely apologize, and the scores that are posted online will reflect the adjustments just as soon as your answer sheets reach H.Q. here in Seattle.
