Previous Really Hard Trivia Question:
How many more spaces are there on a Japanese shogi board than on a standard chess board?
Correct Answer:
17. The shogi board is 9 by 9, whereas the regular one is 8 by 8. I think someone just wanted to be different.
The current standings:
Jessica 23 (+4)
Arthur 21 (+1)
ricemutt 14 (+1)
Amberlynn 11 (+1)
Jono 3
luna 2
Mike 2
Luka 1
Rickie Beth 1
The rules in a nutshell:
- One question every hour for 24 hours.
- One (1) point to the first guess (correct or not). Three (3) points to the first correct guess. One (1) point to subsequent correct guesses before question closes.
- One guess per person per question, but you can guess once at every question!
- When next question is posted, previous one closes and score is tallied to that point.
- Score the most points to win!

I dunno…my knowledge of American history and politics is really weak. Here’s what I’ll guess, based on a quick glance through the sites:
Adams (1824)
Bush (2000)
Also, Jefferson (1801), though I don’t think the popular vote really existed then, so I dunno if this counts.
