Trump was the boss looking for someone to help run one of his companies. When he decided that one of the contestants would not continue, he would simply say, "You're fired."

7. After the Mayflower came to America, a group of Puritans built a settlement as well. Which modern day city did they settle?

Answer: Boston

They arrived in 1630 and immediately started building their community. Tremont was the second street cleared in their settlement. Escaping the persecution of King Charles I, John Winthrop led a group of about 1000 Puritans to the New World where the Pilgrims had been living since 1620.

9. FunTrivia was the first trivia website to be listed in the Yahoo directory.

Answer: True

It has been online since at least 1995, originally known as the "Archive for Useless Facts and Trivia". It is unique among trivia sites in that the questions are generated by the members.

10. The Asteroid Belt - between which two planets is it?

Answer: Mars and Jupiter

The entire mass of the belt is only about 4% of the mass of our moon. Ceres is the largest object in the belt at about 950 km in diameter.
Its existence was first predicted in the 1500s by Kepler though it took another 2-300 years to actually document its existence.
