Ok... I'm sure that got someone's attention {SDTM  }.
So... how many times does the letter B (upper or lower case) appear on BBBs playfield? I have no clue so whomever figures this out... congratulations... you win!
Lame... yes... but I miss BBB trivia... anyone else feel the same?
Happy New Trivia in 2006... I hope.
Be well.
John

The Trivia was really in the wheelhouse of Steve (pinsane). He furnished both the questions out his incredibly extensive knowledge of Capcom Pinball and BBB, and the prizes themselves, which he generously procured and gave away.
I enjoyed playing each Tuesday-Friday, and I was actually the original winner. I never won again, and instead really came to appreciate all of the in-depth answers Steve would give, once the competition was over. It's really a shame that so many of the answers from the other two B&S forums were lost. But after 16 or something questions, it became a little much I think to keep coming up with original questions and prizes, and now Steve's enjoying a much-deserved hiatus.
Your question was actually asked at some point, but I don't remember the answer. A lot, I seem to recall.

Are you referring to just the playfield artwork itself or all included assemblies/plastics/decals, etc?

If it's *just* the playfield artwork, I believe the answer is 28, not 32  (sorry Pete!) -
Top "BAR" rollovers - 1
"Extra Ball" to right of pops - 2
"Big Bang w/lit" below EB insert - 3,4
"Spell B-R-A-W-L for Multibrawl" below captive balls - 5,6
"BABE Scanner" insert at entrance to left loop - 7,8
"Double jackpot" insert to left of center 3 bank - 9
"Tour de Bar" insert below above insert - 10
"Tour de Bar" center insert - 11
"BABE Scanner" center insert - 12,13
"X Ball" center insert - 14
"Big Bang" lower insert - 15,16
"Bar Room Brawl" lower insert - 17,18
"Ray's Ball Busters" lower insert - 19,20
"Tube Dancer" above lower right flipper - 21
"Big Bang Bar" in lower right outlane - 22,23,24
"PB-5 Big Bang Bar" under arch - 25,26,27,28

Yes... this is SDTM's domain (aka: pinsane, steve) and he is truly the BBB trivia master. With all the good news on BBB of late... I thought a little encouragement  might get SDTM to give us all a new years present of a new trivia challenge.
Yes, Robert, I was thinking of the playfield art only... so until you are proven wrong... you hold the coveted title of 'playfield "B" count champion'  .

Trivia upon trivia:
Kronis believes there was a previous SDTM trivia question which posed the same question... is he right or was the question how many times Big Bang or Big Bang Bar occurs on the playfield? Have at it... I cannot recall anything pre 1980 (when I turned 30) LOL...

I too seem to recall that it had to do with the words, I remember counting the three flippers. That week does not seem to be amoung the ones I printed out, but I'll keep looking around. |

Holy crap!
I can't even believe I was close...I made up the number. (First thing that popped into my head).
Dang you, fact checkers!!
In any case, I should be declared the winner...just because I was close (having displayed no skill whatsoever)...and because I'm ridiculously good looking.
