I'm hoping these weren't too easy (or too hard) and everyone did pretty good. Most of my trivia has a lot of USA based questions so I thought I would test your local knowledge today! How did you do? I know that I learned a lot just from putting it together (with the help of Google!) All for now, Sue x
