Heyo! Last night was intended to be a circle time night, but I messed up on the timing and that didn't happen. Instead, we spent half the night in a trivia contest between the guys and the girls. If you missed it, all the questions are below (with the answers down in the first comment). Give it a go and see how you do!
There were 20 questions in total, and all of them were taken from previous blog posts. If you are reading this, you are guaranteed to get at least one question right. Can you guess which one it is?
