Sample Questions
Olympics
There are three nations that have won a single gold medal, and no other medal of any kind, in the history of the summer Olympics. Interestingly, all three golds came at the 2016 Games in Brazil, where a judoka from Kosovo and a Taekwondo fighter from Jordan both won gold. The third historic gold medal came in a team event. Which nation won that medal?
Fiji (Men's Rugby Sevens)

Greg Norman’s ongoing attempt to take down the PGA Tour is no secret, though it’s hardly the first time Norman has railed against the establishment. One of his earliest efforts was a successful coup, which saw the 1994 International Captain (a two-time Major champion and Norman’s countryman, no less) ousted just weeks before the 1996 edition. Though he denied being the ringleader for the ouster, Norman (and several other players) formed a mutiny against the 1994 Captain, claiming that he wasn’t taking the preparation for the event seriously enough. They successfully replaced him with yet another Aussie legend, himself a five-time Major champion that would also stay on for the 1998 and 2000 Cups, making him the only winning International Captain to-date. Name either the jilted Captain or the man who replaced him.
David Graham, Peter Thomson
