Q---Who claimed he came up with the idea for Trivial Pursuit, but failed to convince a Nova Scotia judge of his story.A---David H. Wall
File it away for the next edition of Trivial Pursuit, Wall the Cape Breton man who spent thirteen years trying to prove his claim that he came up with the idea for the game has lost his lawsuit for a share of the millions of dollars earned since the game was created.
He claimed that he first mentioned the idea while a passenger in a car after being picked up hitch hiking in Cape Breton by Christopher Haney, Haney went on to develop the game with a number of friends in Montreal.
Lawyers for Haney cited a number of inconsistencies in Wall's story, a sentiment apparently shared by the court as it came to a decision to bring the trial to an end.
