Nerdy Trivia: October 21, 2024

Note from Nerd HQ:
Hello and welcome to a new version of Nerdy Trivia! Over these past few months, I've been hearing from many of you about ways to improve the newsletter, and so with this new version, that's exactly what I aim to do. Starting today, the newsletter itself will have an archive you can always visit to see past editions HERE. The web version of the newsletter is also where all of the fun graphics and videos get to live, and that's going to make it easier for you to open the email every day (or twice a day) and get right to what you really want: trivia! But that's enough meta talk, let's get to the newsletter!
Happy Back to the Future Day!

I'll be honest, today actually belongs to a few holidays that I almost picked. There's International Day of the Nacho, National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day (I have a recipe saved if you need one), and what better day to launch this new newsletter version than on National Archives Day! But Nerdy Trivia wouldn't be here without... nerdy trivia, and so today, we honor self-tieing shoes, crazy hair, and car doors that might hit you in the face when they open. Speaking of, do you remember how many gigawatts are needed to travel in time in Back to the Future?
Morning Trivia: Who was Mario's first girlfriend?

One more note here: Starting today, all new quizzes will have an expanded answer section where you can read all about the day's trivia (but no peaking before answering)! Just scroll past the quiz to "Reveal answer and learn more:" and you'll get a deeper dive beyond just finding out if you're right or wrong.
