Just forget everything you thought you knew about anything. For example, what Marie Antionette said, how Catherine the Great died, how fast light travels, Nelson's last words, what colour the sky is.... the list goes on. Just be aware that the largest known diamond is 2500 miles across and pistachios can spontaneously combust. My head hurts.

Thanks flambard! Very excited about this one -- I am a huge trivia buff and I have already learned (or unlearned or relearned) things I didn't/should have known. Plus the explanations for some of the things are based on legal technicalities -- as a lawyer, I find that fascinating! Thank you for sharing!
