Learning and sharing a new trivia fact that others don't know doesn't just make you appear more intelligent: It will actually make you more intelligent, for real. Were you aware that in 2007, Scotland spent £125,000 devising a new national slogan, and that the winning entry was: ‘Welcome to Scotland'? How about the fact that four of the top seven highest-grossing films of all time were released in 2015? These billion-dollar grossing films are Avengers: Age of Ultron, Furious 7, Jurassic World, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Also, did you know that the American military used silly string to detect tripwires in Iraq? Before entering a room, troops would squirt it inside. If it hangs in the air, it may have revealed a wire.
If there is one thing we can be sure of, it's that everyone loves a quiz. Whatever your area of expertise is, you're likely to be challenged by some of the questions in this quiz. If you pride yourself on being a trivia know-it-all, this quiz would challenge what you think you know. Take this quiz to test your trivia knowledge, and maybe learn a few things along the way.
