Blurb: Treat Yourself to 500 Trivia Questions in a Variety of Formats to Boost Your Brain Power! You’ve lived through interesting and exciting times, but how much do you remember? This entertaining trivia challenge quizzes you on the people, places, and events of the decades that shaped generations. What was Elvis Presley’s first film role? How long did the Cuban Missile Crisis last? What tennis legend won the Battle of the Sexes against Bobby Riggs? What fast-food chain used the slogan “Where’s the beef?” And what boxer promoted a countertop electric grill? Exercise your memory muscles with these fascinating, brain-boosting questions! 500 enlarged-print trivia questions in different formats, including multiple choice, true or false, fill-in-the-blank, and more. Questions divided by decade (1950s–1990s) and then by entertainment, history, sports, innovation and discovery, and everyday life. Answers that are put into context and include additional fun. For example, George Foreman is the boxer who promoted a countertop electric grill, but in Asia, the grill is marketed by Jackie Chan. Questions and answers that are sure to spark memories and conversations; share the trivia challenge with your favorite people! A thoughtful gift for parents, grandparents, retirees, and other trivia-loving seniors who enjoy reminiscing. Written by a four-time Jeopardy! contestant, this fact-packed book will keep you thinking and guessing as you remember and relive the moments of your life.

THOUGHTS: What a fun book! The sections take you from the 1950s up through the 90s. Some of the questions are easy – and some aren’t. The blurb above pretty much tells it all. There are different sections within the decades and different levels of challenges. Going through this with some friends (yes, we are old enough to remember!) was fun. Make it into a game! And yes, the answers are included.

Definitely recommended.
