I had a “field correspondent” send these questions to me from the My Trivia Live finals on Saturday, special thanks to Michael! Note these are very, very abbreviated, but I will still “play along” to see how me playing myself would have done (since it is a finals question set, I am going to predict I will not do very well without a team). I will indicate “yup” or “nope” as to whether or not I know these…If any other players who were involved in this game have ANY clarifications on these questions, please feel free to chime in by commenting on this post or somehow sending a smoke signal to me in some other fashion! I strive for accuracy… Nobody from our team was present at this game, we did not qualify, and even if we had, it would have been a poor weekend to get the whole gang together anyway. All of that said…
US Prez: No Child Left Behind Act
Yup.

All the world’s a stage
Water, water everywhere

No soup for you
I am not sure what was wanted from this round. DId players have to finish these quotes or ID who said them? If finish the quotes, I think I would do pretty well…if ID’ing the speakers, not so much!
