<p>A huge time-waster, but here goes…Questions for a college and university Trivia quiz are listed below. Some are relatively easy; others are harder. If you get ALL the answers, post them. Please do not post unless you get all the answers. For many questions, several answers may be correct. You must be able to identify a source for your answer if challenged.
