But how many of the European military leaders lived in Vienna in that year? That was also part of the trivia. I know every country probably has its own history from this period, but I scanned online and searched for references in English and many consider Tito's army as the most effective and one of the fiercest resistance armies in Europe at the time. I think Germans thought they would pass through YU easily towards Greece and they never suspected they would encounter such a resistance, which grew day by day. Due to resistance to them and trying to suppress it, the Germans had a policy of 100 for 1, meaning: for every single one of German soldiers that died they would kill 100 random people.

Anyway it's a good idea for trivia questions, I think, and we can learn a bit more about different things. I am trying to think of something that won't be easily solved in 10 seconds. LOL
OK == I 'LL bite -- i have lots of experience doing trivia games with seniors...
of course the idea is to at least try to guess or give answers if we already know or can recall them -- rather than take the easy out and go online *immediately* just to be able to give a correct answer...sometimes it's nicer to first do as we would were it in a ''live'' normal setting where people rely on what they have on hand or clues from what OTHERS can remember or contribute...tha'ts part of the game -- in normal circumstances...
but still -- it's up to the individual on the internet, right?
so i have a few, just off the cuff as i type...
===================================
which city is called the Venice of the North? ..and why?
which country has the current world's tallest building/structure?
WHICH of the two female Ancient Egyptian rulers was NOT egyptian -- and where was she from originally?
there is a kind of spider which will dangle from a twig of a tree, start to let the strong wind constantly blowing over a wide river between the two shores to carry its stream of silk line over and across the river -- even up to 200 feet wide and more-- until that line of web, several lines bunched together really, like ropes..--
is caught somewhere on the other side on a twig or tree ...
this ''silk rope" is threaded out by this spider as ONE Unbroken bunch of silk strands and the spider threads them out in such a way that they actually don't DISPERSE but travel in the wind closely packed together,,,such a beautiful thing to watch...
like a long, long lifeline -- and THEN it starts to weave a gigantic web across , above the rushing wide river...this is the way it catches its prey - anything flying that gets netted...and it then takes its time gorging on them...if its web gets shredded somehow, say - by really even stronger winds , rain, flying animals that are too big -- it simply starts all over again..it takes about one morning worth for it to finish is magnificent structure this way.
its silk -- like that of most spiders is stronger than steel..silk is too really..but of course with far more flexibility...the beauty of nature's genius..
and as if THAT is not amazing enough -- if the spider needs to START all over again -- it merely gathers back what it can - eats them -- so as not to waste anything-- and in LESS than FIFTEEN minutes its ready to thread it out again...now that FOR ''quick recovery" from an enormous effort!!
WHERE can this spider be found?
=================
there is a species of apes that is ruled by the females...and its way of keeping the peace - so that there are absolutely no violent matters -- is for anyone to have sex with anyone...adults to babies, babies to babies, female to male, male to male, female to female...if there any sign that anyone is gettting ''antsy'' to get into a fight -- someone immediately goes and have sex -- a few moments and it's over...lol
the ''make love not war" in its purest form, one might say..
WHAT is ape name?
============================
teh tallest peak above water is mt everest -- how much is it growing TALLER every year?
=========================
which continent is moving inexorably to eventually merge , in about 500 million years -- towards another continent? and HOW will this happen?
=================
there is a famous, legendary British Actress who ran to become the Mayor of London ..who is she?
======================
