The 400 Quiz
Thanks to the individuals credited below for their suggestions/contributions to my 400 quiz. It's been sent to co-workers now, so I can post the full thing online. As cazique pointed out, it's not a great General Knowledge quiz...but being as how we're all about teh libraries, I fully expect people to resort to external information sources. Had this been something for a live event, the questions would look a lot different (and be a lot harder to come up with while staying on theme).
