Reference; Trivia & quiz question books

For trivia buffs and quiz show fans everywhere.

The all-time champion and host of Jeopardy! gives you the chance to test your trivia mettle in this ingeniously organized book of 8,888 questions.

For example-February 21-

In 1912, on this day, Teddy Roosevelt coined the political phrase ""hat in the ring,""

so Ken Jennings fires off a series of ""ring"" questions.

In 1979, who became the first NFL quarterback with four Super Bowl rings? What rings are divided by the Cassini Division? Also on this date, in 1981, the ""goth"" music scene was born in London, so here's

a quiz on black-clad icons like Darth Vader, Johnny Cash, and Zorro. Do you know

the secret identities of Ivanhoe's Black Knight or Men in Black's Agent M?

In this ultimate book for trivia buffs and other assorted know-it-alls, the 365

entries feature ""This Day in History"" factoids, trivia quizzes, and questions categorized

by Jennings as ""Easy,"" ""Hard,"" and ""Yeah, Good Luck."" Topics cover every subject

under the sun, from paleontology to mixology, sports feats to Bach suites, medieval

popes to daytime soaps. This addictive gathering of facts, oddities, devilishly clever

quizzes, and other flights of fancy will make each day a fun and intriguing new challenge.
