Trivia games come naturally to some people, and others may need extra time to think about the questions being asked. If the trivia topic is something everyone knows (for example, questions about South Dakota), then it should be a piece of cake.

However, even the easiest questions about our state can actually be tricky at times.

I recently became hooked on the revival of The Weakest Link hosted by Jane Lynch.  To my surprise, the topic of South Dakota made an appearance as one of the questions.  Thankfully, the contestant answered correctly.  The question sparked my interest in other trivia questions relevant to the state of South Dakota.

I did a little research, and I found 10 questions in particular about South Dakota on the Trivia Playing website that residents of the state should be able to answer.  Although there are more than 10 questions listed on the Trivia Playing website, my selection includes questions that range from really easy to somewhat harder in level of difficulty.
