Hey Smarty Pants, Trusty here with a special mission for all the smarty pants listening.
But unlike a top -secret mission, this mission requires you to tell everyone.
That's right, YOUR JOB is to spread the word about Who Smarted so we can keep growing and bringing you awesome new episodes.
To qualify for this mission, let's play a little game.
Who do you know that would love Who Smarted but doesn't listen to the show?
Is it A, a friend, B, a teacher, C, a relative, like your favorite cousin, or D, a neighbor who loves fun facts?
Got someone in mind?
Great. Question two.
Where and when will you tell this person about who smarted?
Is it A, on a play date, B, at school, C, in the car, or D, on the phone?
Pick one, make a plan, stick to it.
And best of all complete this not so top secret mission.
I'm counting on you smarty pants.
The more people you tell the bigger we grow which means a lot more smarting for you.
Hello smarty pants and welcome to trusty Trivia Thursday.
Today we're making all the right moves as we talk about chess.
Before we dive into the trivia, a big shout -out to my smarty friend, Harrison, in Ellabelle, Georgia.
We hear you love learning new fun facts.
Well guess what? So do we.
Keep on smarting, smarty pants.
And now let's castle into some chest -tastic questions.
First question. Which piece in chess can move in an L shape?
Is it A, the rook? B, the bishop?
or C, the Knight? Did you say C?
Nice job. The knight is the only piece that moves in an L -shape and can jump over other pieces.
Next question. What is it called when a player's King is trapped with no way to escape?
Is it A, game over?
B, checkmate? Or C, King's vacation?
Did you choose B? Brilliant move.
Checkmate comes from a Persian phrase meaning the king is dead.
But don't worry. It's all just part of the game.
Last question. How many squares are on a chess board?
Is it a 64, b 100 or c a gazillion?
Did you choose a? You are a grand master of trivia.
A standard chess board has 64 squares, 8 rows by 8 columns.
If you're thinking three moves ahead, smarty pants, join us next week for more brain boosting trivia.
