Okay, I love trivia contests so I've come up with a few questions for you. There are a couple of tough ones tossed in there about my home state of Connecticut but with a little research, you can find the answers to all of these. First person with ALL the correct answers gets a five pack of PREMIUM cigars from me. You can edit posts!!

1. How many US Presidents died in office of natural causes?

2. How many US Presidents were assassinated?

3. How many State Representatives are there in the Connecticut State House?

4. Who was the only US President to serve in Congress AFTER he was president?

5. What is the second smallest town (population wise) in Connecticut?

6. If the vehicle identification number (VIN) of a modern-day car begins with the letter “S”, what country was it made in?

7. Who was the only US President to be married in the White House while he was President?

8. Who is the only US President from the state of Vermont?

9. What is considered the bloodiest battle of the Civil War?

10. In what year was my favorite brand of Havanas (Vegas Robaina) launched?

11. What is another one word term for a double corona?

12. In what year was my hometown of Chaplin, CT incorporated? (BONUS stick if you get the EXACT month and day).
 
okay, to get started:

1.

2. J.F.K., James A. Garfield, A. Lincoln, William McKinley, so I'd say 4 of them.

3.

4. John Quincy Adams

5.

6.

7.Grover Cleveland - YES

8. Calvin Coolidge, the 30th. - :(

9. YO MAMA! :sign:

10. June 6th, 1997 at the Ritz Hotel in Madrid, Spain, launched by the Don himself.
-YES

11. Prominentes, vitola # 612
-YES

12.The town of Chaplin, located in northeast Connecticut, covers 19.8 sq. miles and was settled in 1740 by Deacon Benjamin Chaplin who willed his assets to the townsfolk for the establishment of a church when he died in 1795. - :(

:thumbs:

dude, some of these are kinda hard, the vins I find are ionly up to 93' ggrrrr
 
Ah Coolidge was born in Vermont but he was a politician in Massachusetts prior to becoming president. I was looking for someone else who was actually living in Vermont when he became president. Hint: His predecessor died in office.

I need the exact year that Chaplin was "incorporated" and again, if you can come up with the exact day and date of incorporation, you get a bonus Havana.

the vins I find are ionly up to 93'

A car made in 1993 qualifies as what I call "modern day" so if you got a VIN from a 1993 car that begins with an "S" and you know where it was made, you've got the answer ;)

YES on 4, 7, 10 & 11, good job :thumbs:
 
Okay, here goes.

1. Taylor, Harding, FDR, and Harrison died in office. That makes 4.

2. I now realize I'm too tired to type everthing out, time to sum it up. Another 4 were assassinated.

3. 151 reps.

4. John Quincy Adams, he was trying to rid slavery.

5. Union is the smallest town, the second smallest was a real pain to find. It is Falls Village.

6. England.

7. Grover Cleveland.

8. Coolidge is the trademark Vermont president, but Chester A. Authur was also born in that state, he took presidency when Garfield died.

9. The battle generally regarded as the "bloodiest" was Gettysburg, which resulted in some 51,000 dead, wounded, and captured soldiers. Antietam was saw the most bloodshed in one day.

10. Launched in Spain in the spring of 1997.

11. Prominentes, though I've only heard it used by Cohiba.

12. Settled in 1740, incorporated in May of 1822, but I can't find the day. :(

Anyway, that does it.
 
Bleh, Sir posted whilest I was researching. Bugger. :D Figured I'd be the only one messing with it this time of night.
 
HOLY CRAP!!!

Everything right but #5!!

You are so close!! It is so funny you mentioned Falls Village because Falls Village is not the actualy name of the town but everyone who lives there calls it that.

I'm looking for the actual name of the town.

Ya know Wildcard, a funny bit-o-trivia about Chaplin, a long-time First Selectman was named Ed GARRISON and his son Ed Garrison, Jr. was just elected 2nd Selectman this past election. Ed Jr's son is really into motocross :thumbs:
 
First off, the date is May 20, 1822. The town is named Canaan.

Funny, I've been riding dirtbikes since I was 5 years old, own four of em now. I actually did a little junior motocross when I was much younger, on my 80cc Suzuki.

Just don't tell the people in Falls Village the REAL name of their town in Canaan or they'll smack you in the head :D

Holy crap, how'd you find May 20th?
