This came up after a friend was playing a trivia game. We were looking up what colour the wedges were for the different categories in Trivial Pursuit and it came up with this gem.

Search is “trivial pursuit sports and leisure colour”

    This is because there are a ton of different versions out there with different colors. And the reference to “classic” is actually a more recent specific release with that name, not the original oldskool version.

    In this case the correct answer should have been that there is no definitive correlation between the colors and the categories, because it depends on the specific release. The wiki stating the colors with that much confidence is simply wrong, it may be there is a edition with those colors, but other editions use other colors.

      Either way you can’t trust this top result, because it’s dumb.

      However, specifically to what you’re saying, the part of the Wikipedia article that is highlighted in purple was set by the AI,and directly contradicts the AI. That part of the article was talking about the classic edition of Trivial Pursuit, so there was nothing wrong with the article.
