Try your hand at these brain-busting trivia questions. Remember, please, that you may not google or use any reference sources for the first 24 hours of this thread.

-1. Theo LeSieg, a children's author, is actually Theodore Geisel (Lesieg in reverse). How do we better know him?
-2. Which South American country was named after a city in Italy? (V--------)
-3. What rock group appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" performing "Little Red Rooster," "Everybody Needs Somebody," and "2120 South Michigan Avenue"?
-4. In 1835, who survived the first attempt to assassinate a president? (A J)
-5. The collective name of the four largest moons of Jupiter salutes the scientist who discovered them. Who was it?
-6. Located in North America, what is the second largest French speaking city in the world?
-7. What four-stringed musical instrument takes its name from the Hawaiian for "jumping flea"?
-8. A certain large Tibetan ox utters a low, guttural sound instead of lowing like most cattle and thus is called the "grunting cow" or "grunting ox". What do we more often call this Tibetan ox?
-9. The sikkah, an Arabic stamped coin, eventually gave its name to what small bit of metal stuck to a dress?
-10. Although you might expect Caesar's salad to come from Italy, it actually originated in what country, possibly at a restaurant called Caesar's?

An excellent guess, and possibly correct, but not my answer. smile
