    So that you are familiar with Funtrivia conventions such as asking for the odd one out
    For all of these reasons

2. There are restrictions on "fill in the blank" questions. Why?
    It's because the editors simply dislike "fill in the blank" questions
    It's all part of an attempt to "dumb down" standards
    "Fill in the blank" questions are often very accident prone
    "Fill in the blank" questions are too hard

    For all of these reasons
    Many categories have some rules of their own in addition to the sitewide rules
