What are the rules for this quiz? Can the quiz takers use the internet? If so, they will find the answers in this thread.
I used to stick a trivia question at the bottom of calendars I would send out to my department. Unfortunately, I would keep the answers in a separate location, and I don't have them any longer. If a particular question seems intriguing to you, then you can always Google the answer. Sorry.
