No Guessing! is a board game that first appears in "Arthur the Loser." Arthur buys it because of its very convincing TV advertisement. The game is played by rolling a die, moving a certain number of spaces, and answering trivia questions. The finish/winning point is a button in the middle with a large star on it; when pressed on, it makes a sound and the player raises their arms and yells, "I win!" The front cover depicts an owl wearing eyeglasses along with a mortarboard and wagging his finger.
The game questions vary in difficulty, some challenging and some easy. A few examples would be:
- A scientist combined one liter of H2O and nine ounces of soil, what compound did he make? (answer: mud)
- A baseball is covered in what material? (answer: cowhide)
- What is the largest city in France? (answer: Paris)
- What is the third planet from the sun? (answer: Earth)
- A four-legged barking canine. (answer: dog)
- The bread around the hot dog is the... (answer: bun)
- The site of King Solomon's Mines (answer (possibly): present-day southern Africa)
- Sue Ellen answered "Zimbabwe", which could be correct
- How do you spell Cat? (answer: C-A-T)
- What line goes around the Earth? (answer: equator)
- A Basketball is filled with.... (answer: air)
- How many points is a basket in basketball worth? (answer: 2 points)
- What is the capital of Norway? (answer: Oslo)
There is also a montage in "Arthur the Loser" in which Arthur says random phrases (which were likely the answers), the questions are unknown:
- Icing the puck
- The question could possibly be: "What is the term for when a player shoots the puck from behind the center line across the opponent's goal line without it being touched?", as this is the definition of 'Icing the puck'[1]
- A lobster
- The Boston Red Sox
- 1945
- This question could be anything, but one plausible question could be: "In what year did World War II end?"
- Dirt
