    Thursday Night Trivia @ Willy P’s

  • It’s been 175 days since Quiz League I wrapped up.  That’s probably a long enough hiatus, so here we go again.  Remember, these are not the kind of questions you see at a trivia night.  Knowing the answers immediately, while impressive, will not be the norm.  Your goal is to figure out how to find [...]2January 18, 2011

    The Quiz League is Back!

  • Here’s a pretty good way to tell what people outside of Springfield know about our little town: Questions about Springfield, Illinois have come up 25 times on Jeopardy! since 1984.  Of those 25, 6 didn’t mention Abraham Lincoln.  Of those 6, only two asked about something other than the fact that Springfield is the capital of [...]0January 17, 2011

    A plug.

  • Back in that post I wrote about putting together a good trivia night, I made it a point to bring up question quality, but I didn’t really get into HOW to write a good question.
