As you probably know, we host FREE team trivia each Tuesday (51st Street Speakeasy) and Thursday (O'Connell's Irish Pub) night. If you ask us, it's pretty fun. Here's how it works:
• You gather a team of friends to play trivia. Your team can be as big or small as you want and will compete against other teams for cash prizes.
• We ask four rounds of questions. Each round has 10 general knowledge trivia questions. After those 4 rounds, we ask one final question. We call it Final Ogle.
• When everything is done — it usually ends around 10:15 — we pay cash prizes to the teams that finished first, second and third.
Anyway, each night we try to include a few Oklahoma-themed trivia questions. Since today is a holiday and things are slow on the internet, I thought I'd share some of these questions — along with the correct answers — with you. Check them out after the jump.
