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. Where would you find an Abyssal plain? -2. What was the first general election to see debates between presidential nominees? -3. What is a Dilong? -4. Who is buried in the Dominican Republic's El Faro a Colon? -5. On the show I Love Lucy, what was Ricky Ricardo's full first name? -6. What type of bird is a gooney bird? -7. What household nuisance best corresponds to early-planet formation? -8. What are the current names of the lions outside the New York Public Library's main branch? -9. What is a Breeches Bible? -10. In the Phoenician alphabet, the letter A stands for ox and Q is a monkey. What does G represent? 
The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.
