While I’m off work, I’m keeping a hand in the game with five trivia questions and answers each weekday.
- What genericized trademark is often used by speakers of British English to mean “vacuum cleaner” and “vacuum-clean”?
- It’s the number of Pillars of Islam, of Sacred Wounds of Christ, of the Faces of Shiva, of Books of Moses. What is it?
- Mongolians traditionally ferment airag (or “koumiss”), their national beverage, from the milk of what versatile animal?
- The first modern Olympic Games were held, appropriately, in Athens. What city—a 2,900-km torch relay from Athens—hosted the second games? The city in question predominately speaks one of the two official languages of the Olympics.
- The first cultivated variety of coffee bean is named for what Yemeni port city?
Answers here. Warning: So far, all of the answers are on the same page, so if you haven’t played the previous days’ questions, be careful where you scroll.
