[Fourlanders] BellSouth Trivia Contest

[Jim Worsham]

A couple of weeks ago my organization within BellSouth had a "team building"
day.  As part of the activities there was a trivia quiz which I have copied
below.  I thought that you all might be interested in question number 16.  I
have already had several folks at work approach me and ask about this.
