New forum game, Trivia!

[MISFIT]

Trivia. Anything trivia!

Rules: One person creates a question that tries to stump the next poster. The next poster answers (if they can), and then posts their own question.

Example:
Person 1 - Who invented the first "computer">
Person 2 - Babbage; How many megabytes are in a gigabyte?
Person 3 - I don't know.; What is the longest word that can be typed using the first row of letters (Q, W, etc.)?

Get the right answer and post the next question. I'll start...
