Random Trivia RMB!
Like the silly banner says, it's Trivia time!
At random times there will be random trivia questions from me, in one of four difficulties:
Easy - 1 point
Regular - 3 points
Difficult - 5 points
Obscure - 7 points
Bonus question - 1 point
Extra challenge - 3 points
Whoever gives the first correct answer will get full points and a place on the ranking board below. Second correct answer may get one point if the two posts are made less than one minute apart.
There are unlimited attempts to answer Trivia questions, as long as there is not more than one answer per post and no RMB rules are violated.
Answers must reply to my post and/or ping me.
