Would you know the answer?   Leave a comment

Let me save you from the usual blog information overload. This is going to be a short but informative game. Run through the questions slowly. Afterwards, if you are still interested, you may look for the correct answers on the Internet but not until you try to answer them by yourself first based on personal stored information. It’s best to be informed. These may also serve as ice breakers or introductions to topics for the day’s lessons and discussions. Or they may be additional information worth knowing, you never know when you will need them. Good luck! Enjoy!
