A good understanding of trivia comes in handy. An example: the next time you're at a party and someone says, "I can't believe it! I've totally forgotten when the Battle of Hastings took place," you can step in. Just move people out of the way with a polite "Look out, coming through." Once at the center of the dilemma, you can offer, "Ah, the Battle of Hastings, that little tiff between King Harold II of England and Duke William of Normandy. It took place in," (insert a dramatic pause) "1066." Your answer is sure to be followed by a collective sigh of relief.
So, it's your turn now. The following questions might be posed a certain A. Trebek, they might not. Do your best, come up with the answers, and find the cache. The questions have been painstakingly researched, but the answers have not. Just kidding! It is, however, time to get some serious trivia skills. You never know when you might have to utter those fateful words: Potpourri for $200, Alex.
A. In a "bedpost" split in bowling, two pins are left standing. One is the 10 pin. What is the other?
B. What famous line did candidate Richard M. Nixon deliver on "Laugh In"? (Use the third word.)
C. How many times does the word "railroad" appear on a Monopoly board?
D. How many wives did Henry VIII have?
E. How many holes are in a single Ritz cracker?
F. How many of the Marx "brothers" were not actually brothers?
Insert the results into the following: N33 34.ABC, W117 39.DEF. Have fun!
