First Week Trivia

As a courtesy and for those interested, trivia questions will be posted here, on the front page of the blog, after each week. This first week was tough - but just recall last years questions relating to the type of car Yotsuba's father drove in the Yotsuba& manga. At any rate, it goes to show that 1 is easy, 3 is fairly difficult, and 5 is very, very difficult. In coming weeks, there will be less of a recency bias, however.

That all aside, let's jump in, shall we?
