Re: Odds of Seeing All 700 Questions
To take a wild guess, i'd say 109 games to see all 700 questions! :) I just finished playing my 109th game and... ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!!! I think i might be the lowest games number played to get that random Achievement. Can anyone confirm? Now if only my luck would hold out until i get the last Achievement (Block Party). Can't seem to find anyone online...

I sure did! Though it's funny, we are both missing one Achievement that the other has. At least yours will come with time - not sure if i'll see another 5 people on LIVE with this game to get mine though. :(

You gotta be joking - you will get yours MUCH sooner than mine.

Re: Odds of Seeing All 700 Questions
I got mine at 427 games.  My one other freind was 563 games and I had another get it at 187 games.  I played with K4rnage about a week ago in this game.  I can't believe you have not gotten it yet at 650 games that is BS.

I'm seriously doubting it the way it's been going. 4 days and i haven't seen anyone online to host or join. :( Btw guys, perhaps this will help: I have several 360 consoles and i am between my and my girlfriends place all the time. I got the Achievement at her place on a different console to the one i purchased the game on. I just brought my Hard Drive from another console - maybe this has something to do with it? If any of you have more than one (working) 360 unit, try alternating the systems with the Hard Drive and see how you go. This would be good if you leave it on overnight or when going to work and also you don't overheat the one 360 console. Hope this helps.

It might be due to you having your locale outside of the 3 countries the game was sold in.   Zebrasqal who also got it fairly early had his set to France.     You could be drawing on questions from all three countries and getting to 700 fasters as a result.

That is interesting. I wonder if all you have to do is set your locale to any country the game was NOT released in and you might get it quicker. Worth a shot.

Nice try but I don't think this works. I tried to change my local to France as well as Japan and I got some of the same exact questions as I do when I have it set on U.S. I am just going to wait til a patch until I bother with the last achievement. Only 15 gamerscore for that achieve and theres a bunch of other arcade games I gotta play.
