Quiz Blog 2

Posted: Monday, 02 February 2004

Each week we set a theme and you set questions to the theme.

It's a feast of oddball trivia and useless information. There's some talk of mystery prizes, though very little evidence yet.

This weeks theme is food, and to kick things off our first question is: What is Agar-Agar?
