“Remember, remember! The fifth of November.” Today is Guy Fawkes Day, known to many as “V for Vendetta” day and the story’s iconic use of the Guy Fawkes mask. On this Nov. 5 we’re going to do something we don’t normally do with trivia, as this theme is going to be in the answers, all of which will start with the same letter. This week’s trivia is brought to you by the letter “V.” In our Head2Head matchup we have Bryan Dillon and Jeff Yungman returning after an amazing tie in which both answered all ten of last week’s questions correctly.
