The total for the week: 4 contests, 1-2nd place, 3-1st place. We are not the smartest group of people but apparently trivia competition experience counts for something. Beatles trivia last night wasn't the easiest. One fellow, playing by himself, had 114 points before the final question. He knew 18 of the Beatles 21 US #1 hits. However he bet too many points on the final and missed it. We took a guess, bet half our points and finished first by 2.5 points. Final question: Album sales, put them in order from highest to lowest - "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "The White Album", and "Abbey Road".
Disneyland monorail began operation in 1959. Mary Poppins was nominated for an Academy Award. Hippophobia is the fear of horses. ( not sure who came up with that?) The Appalachian Trail is 2175 miles long. The 22nd Amendment limits the terms of the President to 2. ( Libya could have used something like this)
Sitophobia is the fear of what? In what decade of the 20th Century was the U.S. foreign-born population at its lowest? Who is the all-time women's grand slam tennis singles titles winner? In what country is the 2nd highest dam in the world, the Rio Grande at 1,345 feet? What is the only show about a singing group that has won an Emmy award for best comedy?
Good Luck!
