Hey folks,
It's Tuesday Trivia time!
We're supposed to get a few inches of snow tomorrow, so why not talk about some of the biggest blizzards in Denver history?
Question: What are the dates of the biggest snow storm in Denver history? Question 2: How many inches fell over that 5 day period?
Good luck! Think SNOW!

Monday Math Facts and Tuesday Trivia...on Wednesday
Hey folks,
Oops! Sorry for the delays. I've been preoccupied with getting my second book ready to publish and have neglected the blog this week. So, let's get right to it:
10x table this week! I seriously want to see a TON of participation this week...
10x1 = 10
10x2 = 20
10x3 = 30
10x4 = 40
10x5 = 50
10x6 = 60
10x7 = 70
10x8 = 80
10x9 = 90
10x10 = 100
10x11= 110
10x12 = 120
Good luck!
Also, I forgot to post Tuesday Trivia last night! Let's talk about the arts, shall we? Les Miserables is one of the most famous musicals of all time. (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!

Tuesday Trivia 11/27
Hey folks,
Just a quick reminder that this week's Monday Math Facts are the same as last week because we were only in school for two days...so find that 8x table on the blog and keep working on them for Friday!
Now to the trivia:
Let's talk money. There have been a lot of really rich people throughout history. As we've talked about in class, there was a time (before the early 1900s) when there were no laws against monopolies. That means anyone could own every company that supplied a certain product. This was bad for business because those individuals could raise prices and cause a lot of economic problems for a lot of people. But before this time, some men were able to accumulate an unimaginable amount of wealth.
1. Who is regularly regarded as the richest American in US history? (Your hint is that this is in ADJUSTED dollar amounts to the current US dollar)
2. What was his entire fortune estimated to be worth in current US dollars?
3. A bit easier: Who is the CURRENT richest man in the United States?
Good luck! Get your answers turned in tomorrow for tickets!
