The Flyover Book of Trivia 2027

The Flyover Book of Trivia 2027, paperback, next to a cup of coffee

Every edition of The Flyover ends with a trivia question. Over the past three years, we’ve written hundreds of them, so our editors went back through the archive and picked the 100 we liked best. Not the ones you’ve heard a hundred times. The ones that made us stop and say, wait, really?

One question to a page. Turn it over for the answer, the story behind it, and a full-color illustration.

A few to get you going

  • Which president made the White House staff hide from him?
  • A Post Office loophole once let Americans mail what?
  • Neil Armstrong left part of his spacesuit on the moon. What was it?
  • Which household fixture holds a Guinness speed record of 116 mph?

The answers are in the book. No peeking.

What’s inside

Every answer comes with a full-color illustration and the story behind the fact. A few also come with a QR code for the things we couldn’t fit on paper, like the color of a Martian sunset or a recording of the early Rolling Stones singing a Rice Krispies jingle. An index at the back lets you round up every question on presidents, food, inventions, the sky, and more.

We had a lot of fun putting this together, and we hope you enjoy thumbing through it. It’s a book for the guest room, the coffee table, or a long drive, and it’s full of surprises. If you have a Flyover reader in your life, it makes a great Christmas gift.
