Last Occurrences: They Won't Happen Again!
Tsk9653 on 11/03/2007 |
Do a Sploofus trivia quiz search for "firsts" and you will find twenty times the quizzes you will if search for "lasts" quizzes. This is a small step toward creating a balance between these quiz themes. This quiz presents ten unconnected questions asking about the "last occurrence" of a particular event. I have probably exaggerated in my quiz title -- it seems possible that at least one of these events could occur again. In any event, Question 4, about the occurrence involving the five Marx Brothers, pictured in the Introduction, is one of the vast majority that will never be repeated again.
