Trivia Whiz.
A collection of trivia questions of various topics. First to answer correctly gets a prize.
Fact or Fiction.
A variety of statements, some true and some that are false (but sometimes believed to be true). First to answer correctly whether they are fact or fiction, gets a prize.
Rules: Please follow ToS. Please DO NOT GOOGLE ANSWERS. (Since some are found, not made, the answers are available online. While I have no way of knowing, it does violate the spirit of the game to search for the answer.) Please quote me.(I will do my best to check-in, but it will make it easier). Please be nice to everyone in the thread. Please NO more than three solutions per day (per person). Any combination of three is fine, but please no more. So, I can keep up with restocking and so other people have a chance to answer.
Gimme.Gimme.Gimme.
How Prizes Will Work
All prizes will be approximately 1bil-5bil each. If you answer more than one, the sum of the individual prizes might be added for a bigger prize.
Note: Things were being answered to quickly my funds basically disappeared, so I've had to lower the prize amount. At least until I get my funds up again.
