2 September 2025 #250902-155436-414000 You declined my following contribution of trivia: Declined (1) TRIVIA ADDITION Louise tells George that we are just playing folks. George tells Louise "No, not anymore. We were just plain folks $47,000.50 ago". $47,000.50 in 1975 is the equivalent of $291,428.36 in 2025. ReasonUnable to verify. Your contribution has been declined.We have been unable to verify your contribution. Unfortunately, we were unable to accept your submission as we were unable to verify the information provided. I'm not sure what's going on at your end with this one but I have made pretty much countless trivia contributions regarding the subject of an amount of money that is mentioned in a TV show or movie that is several years or decades old and what the equivalent of that Money would be worth at present. I do this by going online to a cost-of-living inflation calculator. Not once have I ever had a an observation like this declined until now. And other contributors have also had the same observation approved. So what's the problem with it today?! Please give this a rethink. Not once have I ever had to provide proof.

Hi Cousinvin62, Thank you for reporting this. I can confirm this contribution was declined due to a processing error, which we have escalated to the relevant team for review. I therefore would encourage you to re-submit your trivia contribution for processing again, and add your new submission reference here so I can monitor it through processing for you. Thanks!

You have a typo in your text: playing/plain. Punctuation is also appropriate in the first line. I would probably write: Louise tells George, "We are just plain folks." George tells Louise, "No, not anymore. We were just plain folks $47,000.50 ago." $47,000.50 in 1975 is the equivalent of $291,428 in 2025.
