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 »

From war hero to mass murderer: The story of McVeigh

Marquee Event of the Day

June 2, 1997: A Denver jury convicts Timothy McVeigh.
The verdict held McVeigh responsible for the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, which killed 168 people on April 19, 1995.

Why this matters:

Timothy McVeigh wasn’t a foreign operative. He wasn’t part of an international terrorist cell.

He was American. A veteran. Radicalized from within.

His motivations stemmed from Waco, Ruby Ridge, and a deep-seated hatred of the federal government. His bombing remains the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history.

The trial, held in Denver for impartiality, was one of the most closely watched in modern American legal history. He was found guilty of murder and conspiracy, and executed in June 2001.

But the echoes of that day still resonate.

How well do you remember this pivotal case?

Today’s quiz explores the facts, the context, and the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing.

Powered by MOT. “Education, Tokenized.” Now available on Raydium.
