Trivial Pursuit #1

Trivial Pursuit #1

Trivial Pursuit has been a popular board game for decades; I suspect many of you have played it a time or two. My book, “Countdown to Adam”, (can be purchased through Amazon) is filled with trivia, so I thought it might be fun to give my readers the opportunity to challenge themselves or their friends to answer a few trivia questions. Hints will be provided. Let’s get started! How did you do?
