The Collective Trivia Quiz: #3 for 2010!

Time for this week's trivia quiz! So pencils up, gray matter to the front and you may begin.

The Rules of the Game:

1. You can use whatever source material you would like to for finding the answers: Google, Wikipedia, your own notes, books, or most anything else. Even your little gray cells.
   



2. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS TO THE COMMENT SECTION OF THIS BLOG! Email them to vigilante407@gmail.com. Make sure you include your name with your answers so I know who you are and you can get your share of those big trivia points.
   



3. Answers are due in by Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 (11:59pm) Eastern Standard Time, or by the time I check my email on Wednesday morning.
   



4. The game is scored on a pari-mutuel system, like the WWSP 90FM contest. Each question is worth 100 points, divided by the number of people who get it right. If you're the only one to get the answer, you get the whole 100 points for yourself. If five people get it right, the point value is down to 20 points.
   



5. After the quiz is over, you will receive an email with the correct answers, point values and final standings. You can also usually see the final standings on Facebook, posted on my profile.
   



6. Have fun with this! Don't be discouraged if you can't find every answer. Remember, we're doing this to keep in practice for the Big Show – the 54-hour long contest held by WWSP 90FM. Hopefully it will also sharpen your research skills for many a trivia contest out there as well.
