Sticky Trivia Rules: A trivia question on any topic will be posted to GOO, the responses will be posted in the order received. The first correct answer will win a point.  Spelling:  if the answer is an abbreviation or acronym or other oddity it must be spelled correctly; if the answer is a proper title of a work, it must be the full name of said work; generally the properly spelled last name of a person is sufficient when the answer is a person except where just the last name is not enough information to determine a winner.  At the end of the hour, the person with the most points wins. If there is a tie, play proceeds until one person has the most points. Disclaimer: I try to pick questions I think people from a variety of continents can answer however I do live in North America and speak only English with any skill and that probably affects the questions I have access to and ask.
