I met up with a bunch of people to play trivia at a bar tonight. We did ok as a team. Personally I got a few answers no one else seemed to know, but also messed up a couple I should have known.

A couple of interesting ones I got, answers at the bottom.
Q1. Which pianist started his career with the stagename "Buster Keys?"
Q2. What was The Beatles first American hit?

And a couple I messed up on....
Q3. What as Ronald Reagan's first wife's name?
Q4. In 1997, there were only 15 veterans of which war still alive?

And the final question:
Q5. Put in order the following events: the polio vaccine, the invention of pong, Apollo 13, and the discovery of the former planet Pluto






A1. Liberace. My thought process was that he was one of the few pianists I had heard of, and the only one with a stage name. I figured if this pianist had a stage name at one point, he probably found a better one to use later, as opposed to going back to his real name. So Liberace was the only possibility of anyone I had ever heard of.

A2. "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" I'm a Beatles nut, so this one I just knew. "Please Please Me" was the first #1 hit in Europe, if I remember correctly. Or was it "P.S. I Love You?"

A3. Jane Wyman. I knew that at some point in my life, but did not recall tonight.

A4. Spanish-American War. I pulled for WWI, because I figured people would have to be 115 or so in 1997 to have been in that Spanish-American War, and I just didn't think there would be that many 115 year old veterans running around. I was wrong.

A5. Pluto, polio, Apollo, pong, we got Pluto and polio reversed, which in retrospect seems moronic.

There were some other interesting ones, but I don't feel like typing them.
