I sort of hate trivia, but I have been obsessed with the idea of writing trivia questions entirely from my existing knowledge (ie without research) (except to check that they're right). Here's the FINAL day of my 5 Days Of Trivia - without googling or checking the comments, answer as many of these as you can. No cheating!

Answers start coming in tomorrow!

Geography and Religion:
1) How many malls are there in Iceland?
2) California has a town named after which Australian capital city?
3) Queensland has a town named after which US State?
4) The Counterweight Continent is a part of which fantasy world?
5) What is the fastest way to travel from Seyda Neen to Vivec?
6) What is the name of the northern-most region beyond the wall?
7) Look around, look around, the revolution's happening in:
8) Who was immaculately conceived?
9) In the religion of the Latter-Day Saints, who is "Mormon"?
10) Jeff, the god of ____
BONUS: In what year did "Central Australia" cease being a territory?

RICHARD'S TRIVIA!

Nope, I was wrong, I only know 1 of today's questions and it's already been correctly answered twice, so nothing for me today.

Flying Spaghetti Monster is sadly under-represented here, though it may be an acceptable answer to #8. Can anyone verify?

Okay, let's see...Question Four would be Discworld, most definitely :D.

Question Five is "By Silt Strider, unless you have a Mark set in Vivec and are in Seyda Neen when you cast Recall" :D. I'm not sure whether the nearest Tribunal Temple to Seyda Neen is in Vivec but if it is, Almsivi Intervention will do the trick as well.

Question Six is presumably talking about A Song of Ice and Fire, though there is also a Wall in the Old Kingdom trilogy. I haven't read/watched the first (well, I've seen bits and pieces of a few episodes) and can't remember the name of the country in the second, other than "The Old Kingdom".

Question Eight - Isn't that some religious thing, like Jesus or someone? Mary got made pregnant without her consent by God (but as God did it, that means it's okay or something :P) and that was the immculate conception, and it was Jesus being conceived so there you go. Unless that's an urban myth/common misunderstanding and it's someone else.

Hmm, that looks like as much as I can get in this round.

Hehe, was teleportation the bonus one? :D Feel free to ask me more questions about my favourite installation in the Elder Scrolls series and I'm sure I can provide plenty more unnecessary details >:).

1) At least one. I've been in it (in Seltjarnarnes). I can guarantee all malls are in the Reykjavik area.

2) Victoria?

3)

4) Discworld

5)

6) Depends--do you mean Game of Thrones or Sabriel?

7) New York (Hamilton)

8) Jesus seems too easy here.

9) The angel Moroni, right?

10) Slack?

BONUS: Never. It's still on the Risk board.

EDIT: After Googling, on 1, note that Wikipedia's list is incomplete. I was in Eiưistorg, too small to make Wikipedia. And I evidently don't play Risk very much. (There's never been a Central Australia.)

He also explicitly has blue haired in his forum name and blue hair in his signature.  There is no mention of either in your forum name or signature  :stuck_out_tongue:

However, irl, Peter's hair is blue whereas the meerkat's, sadly, is not.

Meerkats are cuter than Wagelings though.  And since this is an internet attle, that counts for a lot.

I enjoy that there seem to be Hamilton lyric questions in each of these.
