Board 8 > Trivia Contest: All Things Considered

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hi all,

I am new to this board. If me being a newb prevents you from participating in this contest, I totally understand ;)

I am just going to throw out trivia questions. They are going to be of varying difficulty. The more difficult the question (as determined by me), the more points that will be awarded to the person who answers correctly first. The points awarded will usually be between 1-10. There can be some jackpots thrown into the mix on occasion, though.

So the person who posts the correct answer first will be awarded points. I will be keeping track of the leaderboard. We will see where this goes (if anywhere).

Question 1 (5 points) | Category: Sports

Caesaria.

Fun bonus fact: this is actually where the term "Caesarian section" comes from, since the sections of Caesaria were often divided incredibly sloppily and left nasty scars on the landscape.

Seriously?

That makes so much sense

Just a little note: please don't google the answers (not saying anyone is). Just thought I would state it, so that the fun isn't ruined.

This might have been a little tough. To get this one correct, you just need to answer the first question: what country is a Banh Mi sandwich from? So far no correct answers.

--
Currently Playing: Mass Effect 3 (PC)

Banh Mi sounds vietnamese

so vietnam
