What is the dot over a lowercase "i" or "j" called?
Tittle
It is a tittle. The phrase "jot and tittle" (the smallest details of a text) comes from the King James Bible, Matthew 5:18. A macron and a breve are real diacritics, but they mark vowel length, not the dot.
Which metal is liquid at room temperature?
Type the answer
Mercury
Mercury melts at about −39 °C. Gallium and caesium are the near misses people reach for: gallium melts at about 30 °C (it will melt in your hand) and caesium at about 28 °C, both just above a normal room.
With which country does France share its longest land border?
Brazil
French Guiana, an overseas region of France in South America, shares a border of about 730 km with Brazil. The longest border in metropolitan France, with Spain, is a little shorter.
Trivial writes questions for whatever topic you pick, and every question it serves is kept in a question bank so it can be reused without being repeated to the same player. This library is a curated slice of that bank. We pulled the questions served for the game's built-in topics, then went through them one at a time:
The library is updated as new questions come through. If you spot a mistake, email support@flayrlabs.com.
You are welcome to read these out at a quiz night. If you would rather the app ran the round, Trivial can host a room from one phone while everyone answers on their own, or show the questions on a TV. You can also write your own questions as a custom deck with Trivial Plus, or type any subject as a custom topic and let Trivial write the round. See How to Play for the rules, scoring and ranked mode.
