Trivia Anyone?
 

This thread will actually have no sexual overtones. I know, I know, "Then what's the point" you all ask? Well, I just thought we'd give this a try and see where it goes. I normally watch the real Jeopardy on a regular basis and consider myself an expert on useless triva. Let's just see how many other "Pixieites" are "full of it"..lol I'll start with a trivia question and the next person will answer and ask another trivia question. Here goes...

If I'm right, then ..... what do the initials "bce" in regard to the measurement of time stand for and where did the phrase originate?

How many sticks are there in a standard game of Pick-up Sticks, and to what point level do players play?

Wow! That's a tough one. Seems like there were various precursors to the game we know today from various parts of the globe. The American Indian version usually had 25 sticks the European version migrated to America(where I live) with usually 40 but some versions had 21 or 31 sticks. Today's games come in those numbers and also 50, 100 or 500 sticks, why there is even a lawn version with jumbo sticks. There are as many versions of rules as there are numbers of sticks but the most usual is to pick up all the sticks and the highest point number wins.
