Trivia Tuesday

We haven’t been able to attend our usual trivia venue lately, so we tried a brand new place last week. The person running this particular trivia night handed every team a piece of paper containing 30 questions and told us that we had one hour to complete the paper and turn it in. I think I received the same directions for the SAT, except that we were allowed to talk this time. We won’t be going back there for trivia again. Anyway, your challenge this week is to answer the ten questions below. There is no theme whatsoever.

1. Billy Martin, Paul Thomas, and brothers Benji and Joel Madden burst on the contemporary music scene in 2000 as what band?

2. What Belgian company bid $46 billion for American brewing giant Anheuser-Bush in the spring of 2008.

3. In what western state are the falls and the city known as Great Falls?

4. What company introduced the Betamax Videocassette Recorder in 1975?

5. Who was the first sitting or former U.S. President to visit Cuba since Castro’s 1959 revolution when he did so in 2002?

6. What brand introduced the “Spicy Sweet Chili Chips” variety in 2008?

7. What building/decorative material is defined as “a thin mortar used for filling spaces?”

8. Which M*A*S*H character was often called “Ferret Face” by other characters?

9. In what 2001 romantic comedy did Freddie Prinze, Jr. portray an aspiring baseball pitcher who falls for a Cape Cod vacationer played by Jessica Biel?

10. Name two of the three universities whose stadiums have hosted a Super Bowl.

As always, please leave your answers in the comments section and don’t use the internet to search for answers. In case you're wondering, we scored a 7 out of 10, though we disagree with the answers for #10.

I would give the source of where I received these questions, but I'm not sure if I should share this since I'm advocating not going there for trivia. Comparing trivia and the SAT is certainly not an endorsement.
