Are you smarter than a Quiz Bowl player?
See if you can answer these questions (from an actual JV quiz bowl "toss up" round).

1. Which Native American term is out of place on this list: Hogan, wigwam, teepee, wickiup or wampum?

2. What term in government refers to a group of nations or states in which the component states retain considerable independence?

3. Had it not ceded the island of Corsica to France on the year before Napoleon's birth, he would have been a subject of this city-state, not France. Name this city that is now the busiest port in Italy.

4. Of two consecutive numbers, 3 times the larger number equals 3 more than 3 times the smaller one. The sum of 3 times the larger one and 3 times the larger one is 51. What are both numbers?

5. History is full of famed encounters between individual opponents. We'll name four figures, and you supply the opponents in order: Saladin in the Third Crusade; Scipio Africanus in the Punic Wars; Hernando Cortez in Mexico; Montgomery at El Alamein.
