3
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:19.039

spa snack to prevent what unusual problem? Question two? What
6
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.520
surprising career did Sean Connery have before James Bond that

helped him in the role? Question three? Which US state

00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:59.399
clerical error? Question four? What everyday item did doctors prescribe
10

00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.439
We'll be right back with these varied answers after this break.
14
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:32.000
Welcome back, trivia fans. Let's reveal today's answers. Question one
15
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.200
asked which common breakfast cereal was originally created as a
16
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:41.959
health spa snack to prevent what unusual problem? Answer? Granola
17
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.959
was invented at a health spa to stop guests from
18
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.439
sneaking out at night to local taverns for snacks. The
19
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:53.079
original recipe required three days of baking. Question two asked
20
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.359
what surprising career did Sean Connery have before James Bond
21
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.599
that helped him in the role. Answer. He was a
22
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.519
coffin polisher and learned his smooth walking style by balancing
23
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.439
coffins while delivering them. The funeral home later used polished
24
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:13.560
by Bond in their advertising. Question three asked which US
25
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.680
state accidentally had two governors for three days because of
26
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.479
what clerical error. Answer. Maine had two governors when a
27
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:25.840
secretary filed inauguration paperwork on the wrong day, making both
28
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.840
oaths of office legally binding. They now triple check all
29
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:35.400
gubernatorial paperwork dates. Question four asked what everyday item did
30
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.599
doctors prescribe as medicine in the eighteen hundreds to cure
31
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.879
what specific ailment. Answer? Rubber door stops were prescribed to
32
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.560
cure sleepwalking. Patients had to place them around their beds
33
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.759
each night. Some pharmacies still kept doorstops in stock until
34
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:56.319
nineteen twenty. Question five asked which famous painting hung upside
35
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.000
down in a museum for forty seven days before what
36
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:04.840
visitor noticed the mistake answer. Picasso's lerev was displayed upside
37
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.080
down until a twelve year old student pointed it out
38
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:12.759
during a field trip. Picasso himself called to congratulate the student.
39
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.879
