    Trivia submitted by Theo,

    Using only addition, you can add 8's to get the number 1,000 by:
    888+88+8+8+8=1,000.

    Trivia submitted by Nightshade, Iligan City

    The word Trivia comes from the Latin meaning three ways (tri is the prefix for three). At a three way
    junction there would be a signpost giving information about each direction. This information could be
    called trivia!

    There are exactly 8! (eight factorial) minutes in four weeks.

    This is calculated as follows: 4x7x24x60

    = 8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1

    = 8!

    All ten digit pandigital numbers are divisible by 3 (a pandigital number contains all the digits 0 to 9).
