The show is noted for its many errors – a recent major gaffe being the question "Who called chess a waste of intellectual energy?" ( December 31 , 2005 ), to which the proffered correct answer was " Vladimir Ilyich Lenin " – the actual correct answer was Raymond Chandler . The major difference in the championship format is that ''It's Academic'' uses a Playoff method, while ''Academic Challenge'' simply invites the three highest-scoring schools for a championship game, though the Cleveland show experimented with Playoff s during the late 1990s .
