Trivia: A non Trivial Way to Learn Something and Potluck
Details
We are going to try to create a different type of event here. I know a lot of you like going to Trivia events but this one will be a little different. Everyone will be asked to bring two Trivia questions. (And of course some food to share). But instead of asking obscure questions, the focus of this event will be to ask Trivia questions that are intended to either enlighten or entertain your fellow attendees.
So for instance the Trivia question of what is the name of the famous 13th Century Sufi mystic and poet might be known by a few of you, (his name was Rumi), but my guess is that this information will not add to the preferred knowledge base for most of us.
Instead the questions should focus on either something that is more current or is likely to add to our "useful" knowledge base.
Having said that here are two questions that I think would fit those parameters: What three states have the most lakes? And what did Albert Einstein consider the 8th Wonder of the World?
Our idea is that we will divide up into three or four teams and come up with group answers to the questions. The winning team will be bestowed all the honors and adulation that one would expect from such a victory.
The potluck will start at 6 PM.
And the answers to the previous Trivia questions are (in order) Alaska, Wisconsin, and Minnesota and compound interest.
