BROUGHT TO YOU BY…

Throughout history, trivia has always been more than a game.

In ancient Greece, scholars tested each other’s wit in symposiums. In 12th-century Baghdad, thinkers debated questions in bustling libraries. Even in medieval Europe, monarchs used riddles and logic games to assess the sharpness of their advisors.

Today, a new chapter in that centuries-old tradition is being written — one that blends human curiosity with cutting-edge Web3 technology.

We’re proud to announce the launch of the MOT Solana Token on Raydium, the official utility token of the Masters of Trivia platform. Built on the Solana blockchain and backed by a thriving global community of over 200,000 players, MOT is the first step in transforming trivia into an economic, educational, and social engine for the 21st century.

👉 The Token is now live on Raydium — secure your tokens early: See MOT Token »

Clint Eastwood: Hollywood Legend and Cinematic Visionary

Marquee Event of the Day

May 31, 1930: Clint Eastwood is born.
On this day, in San Francisco, California, one of cinema’s most iconic figures entered the world. Actor, director, producer, mayor—and pop culture legend.

Why this matters:

Most people think of Clint Eastwood as the silent cowboy or the grizzled detective growling, “Go ahead. Make my day.” But the full story? Far more nuanced.

He wasn’t just a movie star—he reshaped American masculinity on screen. From his early days in spaghetti Westerns to his gritty 1970s cop thrillers, Eastwood was a symbol of stoic cool and moral ambiguity.

Then he reinvented himself. As a director, he gave us powerful, meditative films like Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, and Gran Torino—earning critical acclaim well into his 70s and 80s.

Few in Hollywood have had a career with this kind of longevity, evolution, and cultural imprint. Fewer still have done it on their own terms.

How well do you know the man behind the myth?

From Dirty Harry to The Bridges of Madison County, today’s quiz dives into the life, roles, and impact of Clint Eastwood.
