the 900 (trick)

The "900 trick" is a general knowledge tactic used primarily in trivia games or quizzes. It involves guessing the answer to a question when you're unsure by selecting the option that seems most plausible or familiar to you. This tactic can be especially useful when faced with multiple-choice questions, as it increases your chances of selecting the correct answer, especially if you can eliminate one or two clearly incorrect options. The name comes from the idea that, in large trivia settings, aiming for a solid score like 900 out of 1000 can guide your strategic thinking while guessing.
