Trivia Week - #1

[Privateer]

Here's the deal:

I'll post about 5 questions a week and each one has a different point value. At the end of the week, everyone who has points will get credits according to their earned points X10. Each week will have questions adding up to 40 so there will be 400 credits given each week. This system will be tweaked as we go on. These questions will be about anything.

Question 1 (5 points):
How many direct family siblings did Tom Hanks have?
What were their names?

[lightdarkness]

that question is rediculos

[Privateer]

You could easily get the answer.

[aperson]

Sister: Sandra, writer; born July 31, 1951
Brother: Larry, professor; born 1953
Brother: Jim, actor; born 1961

aperson - 5

Question 2 (6 points):
In what decade did the DVORAK keyboard layout originate?

[Anonymous]

This is an FFR forum...Not a trivial persuit table.

[plasmix]

This should be in the Game forum.

[aperson]

DVORAK originated in the 1930s

[Privateer]

Good job, aperson. The idea started in the 20s but the actual product was developed in the 30s. There will be max 2 questions per day but I will have other questions for fun worth random credits I'll give directly after the answer.

Question for 10 credits:
What were the first words Thomas A. Edison spoke into the phonograph?

This has to do with FFR; the whole credits prize thing.
