Ken Jenningsโs Trivia Almanac is the ingeniously organized book where, for a change, the all-time Jeopardy! champ gets to ask the questionsโand where every day of the year will give you the chance to test your trivia mettle.
For exampleโFebruary 21: In 1912, on this day, Teddy Roosevelt coined the political phrase โhat in the ring,โ so Ken Jennings fires off a series of โringโ 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 โgothโ music scene was born in London, so hereโs a quiz on black-clad icons like Darth Vader, Johnny Cash, and Zorro. Do you know the secret identities of Ivanhoeโs Black Knight*** or Men in Blackโs Agent M****?
In this ultimate book for trivia buffs and other assorted know-it-alls, the 365 entries feature โThis Day in Historyโ factoids, trivia quizzes, and questions categorized by Jennings as โEasy,โ โHard,โ and โYeah, Good Luck.โ 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.
