(For those of you that don't know, a new Les Mis movie will be coming out on December 25th.) Les Miserables translates as "The Miserable" in a European language, citing the division of classes in one country. Les Miserables takes place during a revolutionary war. What country was at war in 1789, when the musical's setting takes place?

Good luck! Get your answer in tomorrow!

Tuesday Trivia 12/4

Hey folks!

Sorry for the delay...I got distracted! Let's make this quick...

Mr. Cuoco certainly isn't a fan of violence, but here's a thought: The invention of the gun changed the world forever. And, war is a very powerful reason for invention to progress.

Your question is: Who (or what group) is generally credited with the invention of the gun?
Question 2: What dynasty was created as a result of this group of people overthrowing the Mongols?

Good luck! Have your answers in tomorrow!
