This is a trivia blog for trivia lovers. Trivia quizzes will (hopefully) be posted on a weekly basis, depending on popularity. Each quiz will have four categories which will vary each time. Each category will have one to two questions. Questions will be structured in such a way so that they will be very hard to look up on the Internet. Sorry cheaters! If you have suggestions for categories or questions, please email me at heather.borra@gmail.com.

Lets' try this again and see if I can post it in the right spot this time.

1. The I'veheardthisbutcanneverrememberocene epoch.

2. Salt

1. I'd say AC, because there's a company named Carrier, but this seems way too early. Maybe the refrigerator?

2. Dupont?

1. Austrailia

2. I'm guessing the movie must not be based in an actual country, because there would be multiple movies. So...Serenity?

1. A coconut?

2. Avocado?
