Truffles, Trifles & Trivia
A question is posed, whomever gets the first correct answer (and is acknowledged correct by the questioner) get to pose the next question:
Here be the articles, or guidelines if ye will:
1: I will ask a question at the end of this post.
2: Post an answer if ye will.
3: If I confirm that your answer is correct, you post the next question.
4: If an answer is wrong, then the asker should use his or her judgement - give people more time, give a hint, or ask an easier question.
5: Ask reasonable questions. The goal is to have fun, not to stump everyone.
6: If someone gives an answer that is true, then it counts as correct, even if you were thinking of a different answer. For example, if you asks who was the woman who sailed with Calico Jack, and you are thinking of Mary Read, and someone answers Anne Bonny, it counts.
7: Questions do not have to be about history or even pirates, but let's try and keep it within the time frame 1750-1900.
8: If ye don't know an answer, then researching it is okay, even googling.
9: If its your turn to ask, you have three days to post yer question. After that, whoever gets there first can ask the next question.

Hint #2: You can find these wooden items inside a "pinhole"
Sidenote: I actually saw a drunken sailor in a fit of rage try to use one of these on his shipmate. It would have ended tragically if we hadn't all dogpiled the guy to get this thing out of his hands.

Thank you Admiral! This was otherwise known as belaying pin hash or justice. *Doffs me hat and tries to salute*

Strangely seems like my second hint never posted, not sure why.
