Like a strictly limited quantity of Marvel-branded Oreos, today’s Atlantic Trivia questions have dropped. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Well, until more arrive tomorrow.
To play, type your response into the field below the question. If you need a hint, click to reveal. Next, click “Submit” to have your response checked. You’ll see the answer, a bit about the corresponding article, and the button to proceed.
And by the way, did you know that at one location, the United States and Russia are only 2.4 miles of water apart? Smack in the center of the Bering Strait are the Diomede Islands. Little Diomede belongs to the U.S., and Big Diomede is Russia’s; the ice bridge that forms between the two in winter is, as far as I can tell, unclaimed.
The gap is just big enough for the international date line to squeeze through, putting the Diomedes 21 hours apart for most of the year. The little one is nicknamed Yesterday Island, and the big one Tomorrow Island.
Speaking of—see you then!
