Trivia Answer: Percy Jackson & The Olympians
Wow! That was impressive. Congratulations to Jacob, who nailed every question of my my Lightning Thief trivia -- and answered only a few minutes after the post went up! To recap, here are the questions and Jacob's absolutely correct answers:
1. What was the Roman (not Greek!) name for Percy's father? - Neptune
2. What is the first hint we get of who Percy's father really is? - When Percy doused the Cabin 5 kids in bathroom water (although we also get a much smaller hint earlier when Percy mentions that the only activity he's good at is canoeing)
3. Which monster is Percy's namesake famous for killing? - Medusa
4. Which three planets are named after Percy's father and uncles? - Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto
5. Why is the entrance to the underworld in LA? (Feel free to be creative with this one.) - The entrance to the Underworld is always in the west (they don't call it "Hell-A" for nothing!)
6. Where did Percy stab Ares, and what classical hero is this a reference to? - Heel; Achilles
Way to go, Jacob! I'll have to make the questions harder after I read Sea of Monsters . . .

Percy is not famous for killing Medusa he is famous for killing Mintaur

Well, Aidan, he's famous for BOTH. And it's the minotaur. Not the mintar. Ah, yes. Nancy Bobofit. sounds like someone at my school.
