From the Back Cover
Based on nearly twenty years of the 365 Amazing Trivia Facts Page-A-Day Calendar--the quintessential source of fun information for trivia fanatics--5087 Trivia Questions and Answers is organized by chapter with themes like The Cinema, Language, War & The Military and The World. Questions range from science to entertainment, antiquity to the Space Age, and include some little-known facts about some well-known people, like the special clause Jimmy Stewart had worked into all his movie contracts and the president who was ticketed for speeding during his term by Washington, D.C. police. Other entries expose those undeniably entertaining trivia gems, like the name of the dog on the Cracker Jack box or the difference between a nook and a cranny.
5087 Trivia Questions and Answers is virtually bursting with facts that inhabit the murky ground between essential and irrelevant--from the number of exclamation points in Tom Wolfe's bestselling The Bonfire of the Vanities to the number of grooves on the edge of a quarter. Accept the challenge and test your knowledge in this exhaustive compilation of obscure statistics and vital details, with the answers to some of life's least important but most intriguing questions, and all the facts they never taught you in school.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
