Daily Answers: 6 April 2020

[chaosvizier]

Week Two of the Daily Quiz reboot gives us the best showing thus far! That's right, best of two is still pretty good. So go forth, read up on the answers, and then prepare once more for tomorrow's showing.

For information, we have a Facebook group called Dreamwidth Daily Quiz, in which we'll be posting updates which will mostly consist of "New Quiz is up!", "Answers are up!", and "[insert random sass here]". But we'll still post reminders here as well. Tell all your friends! The more who play, the funnier this gets. Again, they don't need a DW account, we have several players who just pop in and leave a comment.

Enough talk. Time for action!
