I don't know about the rest of you, but within the last week, I've become addicted to Trivia Crack. I kept seeing some of my Facebook friends playing it, but I try to avoid Facebook games, otherwise they become a huge time suck for me. I can't even begin to tell you how much of my life was wasted playing Farmville, Castleville, Frontierville, Zoo World, and all the rest of the games, I got tricked into playing.
Eventually I caved, and instead of playing on Facebook, I downloaded the app to my NOOK. And the rest, they say, is history. I can't stop playing it, and when I'm not playing against a friend, I'm rating user questions, just to keep my useless trivia skills razor sharp. In my crazed addiction, I've even submitted twenty questions for community approval, I'm still waiting to see if any of them make it into the game.
Until then, I thought I would put the twenty questions I've come up with, and see if you guys, without cheating, can answer them.
