The  Not SO Easy Stuff, but still easy
Because i hardly ever answer the trivias correctly, I decided to start my own.

Since the questions are so incredibly simple the prize will be only 1 milbuck per answer.

Note: if u have answered all five questions correctly allow others to do so too - for about three turns.

Questions:

1. Who said, "Walk silently and carry a big stick."?
2. Who was the President of the Confederate States?
3. Why do we have the saying, "All roads lead to Rome,"?
4. Name the captial of Poland.
5. The Speak-Easies were created during what time period in general.

Yes, these questions are completely random.
