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. What state’s quarter shows a trumpet, fiddle, and guitar? -2. Which ancient philosopher said, “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation”? -3. In what classic American novel did the ravages of the 1930’s Dust Bowl figure strongly? (The word “dust” was used 24 times in the first chapter alone.) -4. Where is the highest non-Asian mountain, and what is its name? -5. It’s a Studebaker compact model or a small terrestrial bird with an extravagant song and display flight. -6. Name two vegetables included in the group called “nightshades”.7. What is the name of the Frank Lloyd Wright house built over a waterfall in rural Pennsylvania? -8. What’s the name of the structure that connects your “two” brains? -9. What position did Richie Cunningham, Gary Anderson, and Happy Feller play in the NFL? -10. The Latin phrase omnia vincit amor appears in poems by Virgil. What does it mean in English?

10. All for love?
I remember you, esube. Welcome back!
Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?

esube! You've been gone too long. Welcome back! Excellent answers to the questions, folks! Cue, you were very close but Jarkeld nailed down #10.

Good answers! Other possible answers for #6 are eggplant, tomatoes and tomatillos And my goofs on the logo puzzle made me take a closer look at this one. Esube answered #7, not 4, so #4 is back up for grabs.
