A true trivia test

By Rebekah Bradford, Special to The Post and Courier

Thursday, June 3, 2010

Usually Head2Head has a theme for each week's trivia, but sometimes it's nice to just have some completely random trivia. Next week, though, it's all about the World Cup. First-time winner Diane Reed is taking on Craig Mazzetti, who's moved to Charleston for the summer.

QUESTIONS

1 What car was first introduced as a "people's automobile" in 1937?

2 What is the unit of currency in Russia?

3 What was The Beatles' first album?

4 How many bones are there in the human body?

5 Inhabitants of what country speak Tagalog?

6 What animal can go longer without water than a camel?

7 Which of Henry VIII's wives was the mother of Mary?

8 What planet is closer to Earth: Venus or Mars?

9 Which team has won more NBA Championships: the LA Lakers or Boston Celtics?

10 What is the only flavor of Jell-O made from real fruit?

DIANE'S ANSWERS

1 Is it the VW Beetle?

2 Rubles

3 I don't know "Abbey Road"

4 251

5 Um, somewhere in Asia?

6 Some kind of bird

7 I think her name is Catherine What do you mean which one?

8 Venus

9 Celtics

10 Strawberry

CRAIG'S ANSWERS

1 A Model T

2 Euro

3 "White Album"

4 312

5 Sumatra

6 A snake

7 His first one?

8 Mars

9 Lakers

10 Grape

CONCLUSION

Reed makes it two in a row, easily defeating Mazzetti, who didn't get any answers correct. (Head2Head was tempted to give him a point for the Catherine of Aragon question, even though it seemed like a guess and he didn't know her name). So, with two victories under her belt, Reed will return next when we to take on a new challenger.

CORRECT ANSWERS

1 Volkswagen Beetle

2 Ruble

3 "Please Please Me"

4 206

5 Philippines

6 Rat

7 Catherine of Aragon

8 Venus

9 Boston Celtics

10 Cranberry
