Multiple Choice Trivia
Permalink  
 


When it's your turn to ask, write a question and give four possible choices. Questions must be verifiable. The person who picks the correct answer goes next. (Note that the guessers cannot win by default—if the three wrong answers are picked before the right one, ask another question.)

If you are guessing at the question, please pay close attention—you get only one guess per question and the person asking the question must count edited answers as wrong. If you repeat an already given answer, either through responding to a question that wasn't the most recently asked or not looking at what's been guessed for the current question already, you're screwed. Also, it's no fun if you're looking up the answer, so please don't do it. (It is a good idea for the person asking to look his own answer up to double-check, though.)


Here's the first question, which should be easy for Americans that have been watching the news lately:

Which of the following was NOT considered a swing state in the 2012 presidential election?

  1. Iowa
  2. Louisiana
  3. Colorado
  4. North Carolina

no not Iowa

By that I mean Iowa was a swing state in this past election so it's not the correct answer.

 Yes, yes, I did.

I am the world's worst historian, as I am able to retain nothing important but almost never forget random weird stuff

 

ETA:  OK, I am ashamed, here's a hint (hope this isn't a felony rule violation):  The trial took place in Chicago

Nope, although Tesla was an incredible genius and incredibly strange he was not found insane by a jury in Chicago.

Mary Lincoln was found to be insane?!

I knew she was hysterical at finding an intern in a blue dress on her knees (I might be confusing the hussies) in front of her husband but I didn't know she was found insane!

I think it's a conspiracy. Cover up. Cover up!

YAY!!! I'm awesome!!! I also have no idea who Jim Thorpe is, but I liked his name best. I almost chose Dorothy Parker b/c she has Park in her name

You are awesome Tigerlilly even if not a chicagoan, and so was Jim Thorpe.

When King Gustav awarded his Olympic medals (which were taken away from him based on having been paid a pittance to play a couple seasons of semi-pro baseball even though his medals were all for running), Gustav actually said to Jim Thorpe, "you are the greatest athlete in the world."

And Jim Thorpe said, "Thanks, King."

He's me hero, Jim Thorpe...

I have to concur with your awesomeness tigerlilly. Also with your sense of humor. Of course having park in your name makes you the most qualified to run the parks lol sounds like something my kid would say. Too funny.
