Tuesday Trivia Answers

Here are the answers from yesterday's trivia. I'm thinking you would rather have the answers available immediately, but obscured in some way so you can guess the answer, then see if you got it right or not. I can't imagine you staying awake at night trying to figure out the answers to these and it could be frustrating to have to wait a whole day.

I haven't come up with a good way to obscure the answers yet. I could add a lot of space between the questions and answers, or print the text in white so you have to highlight it to get the answer. I could encrypt the answers so you have to click on the link to decrypt it. Any suggestions would be welcome. You can send them via the contact form.
