    Tonight, we are using a slightly modified version of the Friday Night Trivia Net's Question Category: "U-Pick-Em: A or B". Why?
    Well, recently we've received several emails asking us not to be so "colorful" with our Questions and Answers display format.
    Accordingly, for tonight, we are testing out what our trivia questions would look like in simply Black and White.
    Basically, you pick the correct answer  -- either "B" or "W" -- for our 3 Black & White questions listed below from the (reuseable) answer choices of "B"="Black" or "W" ="White".
    Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual gum-popping answers!
    OK, please remember we are unskilled Trivia professionals using Black and White, so please DO NOT ATTEMPT AT HOME!
++ "Tonight's Topic: "U-Pick-Em: B or W (Simply B&W)" ++
Correct answer is underlined!
Question #1: In a typical chess game, you have the second move. What is the color of your chess piece -- Black or White?
        B. Black, or
        W. White.

Chess is played on an 8x8 board. White moves first. When you set up the board, remember the following things:
a. "White is right!" Make sure the right corner of the board is on a White square. Many movies, T.V shows, and even art exhibits with chess sets get this wrong.
b. Queen on her color! If you are White the queen should be on a White square. If you are Black, the queen should be on a Black square.

Question #2: A typical piano keyboard is comprised of black and white keys. Some of these keys (of the same color) have 2 names. What is the color of these keys -- Black or White?
        B. Black, or
        W. White.

(please see Key Diagram here)
As for the black keys, they each have two note names.
There’s D-Flat (or C-Sharp), E-Flat (or D-Sharp), G-Flat (or F-Sharp), A-Flat (or G-Sharp) and B-Flat (or A-Sharp).

Question #3: Some states' Dept of Transportation (e.g., Pennsylvania's PennDOT) will sometimes use both black and white road paint side-by-side to mark highway lines. Although the same machine applies both colors, which color cost 4 to 5 times more than the other -- Black or White?
        B. Black, or
        W. White.

"...And cost also is a factor, Mallin said. Although the white and black portions are applied by the same machine, the sticker price for the black paint can be four to five times that of the white, he said."
[SOURCE: Black-and-white highway lines are a study in contrast]

    ++ QUOTES OF THE DAY ++ -- from Mrs. Severling, LW's (first and only) piano teacher:
                  "Keep practicing, only when you do, try to hit the white and black keys occasionally, not just the cracks."
