The Three Towers of Trivia, October 5

Tuesday, October 5, 2010

My friends Kevin Render, Ivory Johnson, and I started a trivia group on Facebook a year ago (July 1, 2009 to be exact). We called it The Three Towers of Trivia, and we've asked our followers nearly 900 trivia questions as of today. Today is the start of our 3rd season, and I've decided to post my round's questions here, just to get my blog followers to come join our group. Check out this week's questions, and see if you can match wits with our current players!
