Anyone up for a trivia game?

[Superflyer]

Just for fun I am thinking of starting a game. Here is how I am seeing it go. The first person (I guess me) will post 10 trivia questions of any topic that they feel. The questions do not have to the same topic, in fact the more different they are the better.

There will be say a 12 hour cut off to get answers in. People will PM the answers to the person that posted the questions as we do not want answers in the thread. The person that will get to create the next 10 questions will be the first person to submit all the answers correctly. If nobody gets them all right then it will be the fastest person who gets 9\10 8\10 etc.

Would there be any interest in this?

[RockOnRoberts]

Yes.

[troutman]

I'll take "The Rapists" for $500 Alex.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Yes, your format sounds sort of like Halifax Drunk's old movie screenshot contests. I'm in.

[Jesse834]

What the heck, I'm in.

So what will stop everyone from just googling every question given?

I was thinking the same thing.

honour system. Why play the game? To prove you can google the best?

[icarus]

Sure I'm in. If there's no prizes and no real pride on the line I can't imagine anyone cheating otherwise it just wouldn't be fun.

Well it took two months to get some interest but hey at least we got some. I have come up with 10 questions. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, PM them to me. The winner will be the person with the most correct answers, if there is a tie it will go to the person who got them in first.
The winner will then get the chance to post 10 questions.

There is no prize just the chance to post more questions, this is on your honour that you will not just google everything, if you do that is your choice.

Here they are, you have until noon tomorrow (Wed) to get your answers in.

1. Who was the first mascot in the NHL?
2. With the return of Bret Hart to the WWE, who did he beat for his first heavyweight title?
3. What was the first full length animated movie released by Disney?
4. Who was the first mayor of Calgary?
5. How many players are there per side in a cricket match?
6. What year did Superman debut in comic books?
7. What are the two official languages of Haiti?
8. According to Norse mythology, what was the world where humans lived called?
9. What island does the magnetic north pole reside by?
10. Who has the most top 10 hits on the Billboard top 100 without ever hitting #1?

Uh yeah, those are challenging... I got 1, 3, and 2, respectively having never seen the lists in question.

[cyclone3483]

only one response, this thread may be dead. Troutman, you win. Answers are: 1-Ketchup, 2-Honolulu, Hawaii, 3-early typesetters standard process was to keep all typeset plates for capital letters in a case on a higher shelf and the small letter typeset plate in a second case on a lower shelf, thus upper case and lower case, 4-inventor of 7-UP was an albino and it was his homage to all albinos (red dot signifies red eyes), 5-Casey Kasem, 6-an elephant in the Berlin zoo, 7-Gulliver's Travels, 8-Birds (I know, stupid), 9-Sharon Stone, 10-Guinness Book of World Records
