As many of you know, tonight is very, very important. Why, you ask? Of course, because tonight is GAME 1 OF THE WORLD SERIES, featuring the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals!

I'm sure you will all be rooting for the SOX.

Your questions:
1. Including this year, how many World Series have the Red Sox appeared in?
2. How many World Series have the Red Sox won, and in what years?
3. How many times have the Red Sox played the Cardinals in the World Series?

Good luck! Get your answers in tomorrow, and GO SOX!

Hey folks,

Good to be back today! Here's your trivia for the week. Get your answer in tomorrow!

I happened to be looking at a lovely piece of artwork a former student gave me, in which he melted the ends of crayons and let it drip down the canvas. That got me thinking!

1. When was the Binney and Smith (Crayola crayon company) first founded?
2. How many different boxes were originally offered?
3. How many different colors were originally offered?

Good luck!
