...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
Now this is a great idea. Two fellow Munuvians, Stephen Macklin and Tuning Spork have decided to meet, eat and compete in a trivia contest. With questions to be submitted by the blogosphere!
They've decided to invite . . . their beloved readers, to pose to them trivia questions in their 5 chosen categories of "expertise". (That doesn't mean that they are, in fact, experts in those categories, but merely that those are the categories in which they'd like to be asked challenging questions!)i think it'll be fun to participate by long distance just thinking up some questions!Sephen's chosen categories are:
1) Sailboat racing
2) Mac OS
3) Lord of the Rings
4) Food
5) ObjectivismSpork's chosen categories are:
1) The Beatles
2) Watergate
3) Offset printing presses
4) General Relativity and/or Classical Mechanics (non-Quantum Physics)
5) The Simpsons
Two questions for Spork:
1) Who revealed the existence of the White House taping system?
2) Who derived the notable "law of three/fifths" in the study of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, and also in what decade was it derived?

1) Alexander Butterfield.
2) I have no frickin' clue. (Dang! I knew I should have said "Baseball" instead of physics...)
But, more importantly, questions to me should be emailed to Stephen!

The man is a mercurial figure in the 20th century, A.N. Kolmogorov. His 1940's work on statistical modeling of hydrodynamic turbulence is still important today.
