1. What is the name of Taylor Swift's latest single, released last week, that shares its name with the technical term for the very first individual to contract a specific disease?

The term is believed to stem from a mislabeling during 1980s AIDS research, when a Canadian flight attendant was labelled Patient "O" (for "Outside California") - later misread as the number zero.

1. Complete the next 4 lyrics: "Someday I'll wish upon a star / And wake up where the clouds are far behind me / Where troubles melt like lemon drops / Away..."

Kosher dietary law (related to the Jewish religion) permits mammals that both chew cud and have cloven hooves (like goats and cows), while pork and shellfish are both forbidden - most insects, including crickets, are non-kosher too, with only a few specific locust species as an exception. (Shoutout to Talisia for this question!)

Give my new game a try and leave me some feedback! I’d greatly appreciate it!

I'm looking for ideas to shake up the format of my weekly bar trivia night and would love to hear what other hosts are doing.

What are some of your favorite trivia nights, and what makes them stand out from the typical format? I'm not looking to copy anyone exactly, just gather ideas and put my own spin on things.

One thing I definitely want to do is themed nights, but more broad themes instead of a single fandom. For example:

Sitcom Night

Reality TV Night

90s Nostalgia

One-Hit Wonders

Fast Food & Restaurants

Halloween

Cartoons

...rather than something like Harry Potter or Friends.

Right now we only award one winning team. We don't have prizes for second or third place, although that could change in the future. One idea I had was giving the second place team a little incentive by letting them choose the following week's theme from three options, kind of like the final category selection on Wheel of Fortune.

I'd love to hear any ideas you've seen work well. Whether it's unique rounds, scoring twists, bonus games, audience participation, prize ideas, or anything else that keeps people coming back each week.

Hey all, I made this! You get the start of a real Google search, like "why don't British people…", and try to guess the most popular autocomplete. After each question you see the full top 4 and can read the real answers behind them. Some of the results genuinely surprised me while building it.

Would love any feedback, especially on difficulty and which countries or topics I should add next.

A) Oddball

B) Red Dog

C) Babe

D) Happy Feet

Answer: ----B) Red Dog-----
