Minnesota Trivia

I'm almost back in the swing of things over here after a whirlwind weekend.  Give me like one more day to return to regularly scheduled programming.  In the meantime, I just found this Minnesota trivia quiz that you can take a stab at.  The governor answer is outdated, but otherwise the correct answers are here.  It's too easy for Minnesotans, but the geographically impaired out there might struggle a little bit. 

#1  What is the stage name of former Duluth recording artist, Robert Zimmerman?

#2 What states border Minnesota?

#3 What famous civil rights case had its beginnings in Fort Snelling? (Hint: think 1850s)

#4 What Minnesota company invented Scotch Tape and Post-It notes?

#5  Name the fictional Minnesota town popularized by Garrison Keillor on Prairie Home Companion.

#6 What national discount store has its headquarters in Minneapolis, MN?

#7 Name the first Minnesotan to fly solo across the Atlantic to Europe.

#8 Name the football team of the University of Minnesota.

#9 What two municipalities comprise the "Twin Cities"?

#10 Can you name the architect who designed the Minnesota Capitol, the U.S. Supreme Court Building, and the Woolworth Building in New York?

#11 Name the famous Minnesotan author of the Great Gatsby.

#12 General Mills of Golden Valley created what fictional spokeswoman in the 1920s?

#13 Who is the current governor of Minnesota?

#14 What Minnesota native created the "Peanuts" comic strip?

#15 Name the largest shopping mall in Minnesota.

#16 What processed meat product invented in Austin, MN was re-popularized by e-mail?

#17 What Minnesota company manufactures not only high school and college class rings and other graduation products, but also the Super Bowl rings?

#18 What cartoon characters live in Frostbite Falls, MN?

#19 Name the first American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. (Hint: think Main Street)?

#20 Name the famous medical clinic in Rochester, MN.

I missed #10 and #18. I don't know squat about architecture and I think I'm just a smidge too young to remember that show.

Yes, you are correct, it was easy for a Minnesotan. Plus, I'm a trivia geek anyway. I nailed them all, but still fun.

I throw one back at you, too: What national transportation service got its start in a Minnesota City? And, which city was it?

I am a native cheese head, but have lived here for over 20 years...I got all but #3 & #19 right

[Ironic]

I'm from NY, and these questions are way to easy. I got all but 10.

Another bit of Minnesota trivia - Nmae the famous person who was born and raised from Dodge center MN? Hint - She was played by Sally Fields and it came out in the early 80's.

Plus - Alexis? Darling! Is what you told me true? Not going to tell you adoring friends and readers? Hmmmm?
