Do you know your US History? If so then these questions shouldn't be so hard for you to answer!
For each trivia question answered correctly you will get 1 point. Smiless will be keeping a scoreboard active for you to look at on his profile. The points are distributed to the first one to answer the question correctly. If you have answered it correctly but was a tad bit to slow behind someone who answered it before you then you get no point for that question. So be quick and be certain to gain the most points! The first one to earn 5000 points is called the grand champion and wins a prize! That is right! You win a free hardcover novel sent to your address if desired. The questions will be set to easy but eventually will become more difficult! Use the internet search engines to help guide you to finding the right answer if needed! Let the games begin! |
