Due to the overwhelming amount of Bathroom Readers I own, this trivia contest will be strictly taken from Bathroom Readers running feet (unless otherwise specified).
A few rules:
Answer as many questions at a time as you want.
If the question isn't directly from a Bathroom Reader, I'll mark it.
Every now and then there'll be an open-ended question; in that case, the best answer will get the point (as judged by me).
Some factual questions may have differing answers depending on where you got the answers: I'm only going with the Bathroom Reader answer unless you can provide me with reliable documentation otherwise.
If I can think of anything else, I'll be sure to let you know.
On to the contest!
Questions:
1. How many documented deaths-by-piranha are there in human history?
2. What is the technical name for the holes in Swiss cheese?
3. What do you call the spots on dice and dominoes?

Lies! -I'm Buffy Summers, town tracker. I used my ability on you and saw that you didn't use any abilities before the game started. My flavor is I was sucked through a mysterious space-time portal and I'm here to kill all the vampires, and my tracking ability is a combination of my Slayer and Native American skills.
