TRIVIA TOPIC #3:
A certain popular tourist destination partly named after an extinct culture is also the former site of a biological catastrophe so vast and pervasive that the ecology of the region is still almost wholly dominated by the incident. The catastrophe is not generally mentioned in travel guides for the region.
- Basic: Name the tourist destination.
- Bonus: Write a phonetic version of the name of the catastrophe site, giving its most typical pronunciation in English.
- Gossip: Discuss likely and unlikely reasons for the tour guide publishers' apparent coverup conspiracy.
TRIVIA TOPIC #2:
Suppose you see a set of printed words, all of which are names of colors, but most of which are not printed in ink of the color they name. Suppose further that you see a second set of printed words, the letters of which have been scrambled within each word, but not among different words.
- Basic: Name what the first set can be used to demonstrate.
- Bonus: Explain why this is interesting.
- Gossip: Is this really science?
- Basic 2: Words in the second set are supposedly easily readable if which two letters are left in their original locations? Give examples.
- Basic 3: Give counterexamples.
- Bonus 2: Cite original research supporting this interchangeability of letters.
- Gossip: Is this really science?
- Discussion: Determine, if possible, a relationship between the two sets of words.
TRIVIA TOPIC #1:
There is a certain melody now commonly associated with a Christmas carol. A traditional story, maybe apocryphal, attributes its composition to a king hoping to seduce a S. Y. T. he fancied at the moment.
- Basic: Give the original and modern song titles.
- Bonus: Give at least three verses of the new lyric, and at least twelve verses of the old.
- Gossip: Name the protagonists. Describe their relations.
- Discussion: In your opinion, was the seduction a success?
