Sample Questions
Olympics
32-year-old American Eddy Alvarez, now a shortstop in the Dodgers organization after a career change of sorts in 2014, is the latest athlete to complete what extremely rare historical sports feat? The feat was technically secured with a 7-2 win on Aug. 5, 2021, but would not be finalized until two days later, after a 2-0 loss. (Neither game involved the Dodgers, but both were in the discipline of baseball.) Alvarez is the 11th person to accomplish this feat since the first managed it in 1924.

Games
Name the card game—derived from the melding and trick-taking game bezique—in which the special 48-card deck includes two cards of each suit, but only for the 9, 10, jack, queen, king, and ace. The origin of the game’s name isn’t clear, but one theory is that it derives from a French word meaning “binoculars,” or, similarly, two Latin words meaning “double” and “eye.”
