A Challenge to complete: 80 Days (Very Difficult)

Jules Verne has started the idea - around the world in 80 days. How about doing the same, without leaving the comfort of your home (and computer chair)? Here, on FunTrivia, we have quizzes on all 195 current UN-recognized nations and for the fun of it, we'll give them to you one nation per day. Stick with us for 80 days (whether in a row or not) and we'll officially recognize you with the Jules Verne Memorial Badge - also known as "80 Days". [ 1548 winners so far. ]

Today's FunTrivia Duel includes Television, Music Grab Bag for Experts, and Matching Artist and Art.

A Challenge to complete: In the Balance (Misc)

We've been doing this for some time, but for some reason we didn't yet succeed in making the world a better place. In fact, things are looking more precarious than ever.

Which can only mean - we need to try harder to bring some balance to this planet.

Let's use these songs for our 2025 attempt, hand-picked for perfect balance by ponycargirl, who was the most active contributor to the 2024 version:

THE TIMES, THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'

Come gather 'round, people, wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
And you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the times, they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times, they are a-changin'

Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times, they are a-changin'

The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times, they are a-changin'

The lyrics for this song were shortened by one verse to keep the community challenge difficulty at its desired level

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

Some hope for the future
Some wait for the call
To say that the days ahead
Will be the best of all

We will build bridges
Up to the sky
Heavenly lights surrounding
You and I

From out of the darkness
Our future will come
If we leave the past behind
We'll fly beyond the sun

We'll be together
Sharing the load
Watching in wonder as our lives unfold

Hope for the future
It's coming soon enough
How much can we achieve?
Hope for the future
It will belong to us
If we believe

Hope shines brightest in the dark
When nothing's ever seen
Lighting undiscovered places
No one's ever been

You know what to do. Head over to the relevant thread in the author lounge, claim your title and write a nicely balanced quiz (or crossword) in 2025.

Please remember this is manually awarded - it may say "instantaneous" on the box, but we need to check submissions by hand so it can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on when someone has the time. [ 56 winners so far. ]

A Challenge to complete: Masterpiece (Very Difficult)

Would you like to own a true masterpiece by an artist like Van Gogh, da Vinci or even one of the modern artists? Well, you can have that - and it won't even take a masterpiece of your own. Any reasonably well written quiz will earn you one at the Author Gallery game as long as it meets one of the three criteria.

Okay, it won't be an original and you won't be able to sell it. It's not even one of those newfangled NFTs. But hey, you can keep it and have some prestige on top.

But it gets better: If you manage to collect four pictures, we'll give you an extra one for being such an art fan and gallerist. Not a gallery painting, but more like a special issue postage stamp (also known as "badge" in these circles). And you can even make that more valuable over time! [ 85 winners so far. ]
