Ken Jenningsβs Trivia Almanac is the ingeniously organized book where, for a change, the all-time Jeopardy! champ gets to ask the questionsβand where every day of the year will give you the chance to test your trivia mettle.
For exampleβFebruary 21: In 1912, on this day, Teddy Roosevelt coined the political phrase βhat in the ring,β so Ken Jennings fires off a series of βringβ questions. What two NFL quarterbacks have four Super Bowl rings each?* What rings are divided by the Cassini Division?** Also on this date, in 1981, the βgothβ music scene was born in London, so hereβs a quiz on black-clad icons like Darth Vader, Johnny Cash, and Zorro. Do you know the secret identities of Ivanhoeβs Black Knight*** or Men in Blackβs Agent M****?
In this ultimate book for trivia buffs and other assorted know-it-alls, the 365 entries feature βThis Day in Historyβ factoids, trivia quizzes, and questions categorized by Jennings as βEasy,β βHard,β and βYeah, Good Luck.β Topics cover every subject under the sun, from paleontology to mixology, sports feats to Bach suites, medieval popes to daytime soaps. This addictive gathering of facts, oddities, devilishly clever quizzes, and other flights of fancy will make each day a fun and intriguing new challenge.
