Sample Questions
Obscure
In the year 532CE, the supporters of two chariot teams joined forces to rebel against Emperor Justinian. To put this into perspective, this is like if Giants and Jets fans—or University of Michigan and Michigan State fans, or Dodgers and A’s fans—had a long history of extremely violent hooliganism towards each other and then joined forces to try to overthrow the United States government. The resulting “Nika Riots” left an estimated 30,000 dead. What were those two chariot teams (and their supporters) called?
The Blues AND the Greens
Baseball

James "Cool Papa" Bell
