Trivia

So, I am responsible for our weekly trivia question this week at work. I work in a department of 8, and every Friday we play trivia. Whoever won last week gets to make up the question for the next week. I'm the only girl in the department, so alot of the trivia usually revolves around sports. The main goal is to make sure it can't be found in a real quick Google or Wikipedia search... so here's my idea:

About 20% are left-handed, vs. the general population has about 10% left-handed.
They sometimes speak their own language.
Johan Alexander Santana Araque is one.
So is John Elway.
Danny Devito played one.

What do you think? Too easy?

 

I'm assuming the answer is "twin"? If so, then it is way too easy.

Especially with the Danny Devito comment. Do people know that you are expecting twins? If so, that'll give it away for sure.

 

I got it right away too.

Yes, that's the answer, but, No, none of them know I'm expecting twins. They know I'm expecting, It's too obvious But I thought this might be a fun way to let it out of the bag. What if I remove the Danny Devito hint? I was hoping they would all veer off on a "sports" theme, since I used a baseball and football player in there.

 

Yeah, I think Danny Devito gives it away...I would take that one off of the list!

 

Maybe if you say Johan Alexander Santana Araque HAS one
And so does John Elway- that might throw them off a bit, but the answer would still be twins...

Aww, that's a good idea... the thing with Johan is that he actually plays for the Minnesota "Twins" so I have to say he is one. But maybe I'll change the John Elway one.

 

I think it's obvious to us b/c we have twins on the brain, but it may not be so obvious to the general population, and what a cute way to "let the cat out of the bag"

Who is Johan Alexander Santana Araque? Are you saying the pitcher Johan Santana? What kind of occupation are you in? I can probably come up with something specific to your industry that has a twin connection.

Yes, I'm referring to the pitcher for the Minnesota "Twins".
As for my occupation, I am a developer for a very large metropolitan school district.
Thanks for any help.

But you live in Colorado, not Minnesota, right?

Your job is a little generic for any true trivia so not sure what else I could contribute to your trivia question.

Maybe Mrs. Tiger is one (Tiger Woods wife) as is Scarlet Johansson (sp?) and Elvis.
