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.

He wrote for the poor. And rewrote society.

Marquee Event of the Day

June 9, 1870: Charles Dickens dies at 58.
Author of A Tale of Two Cities, Oliver Twist, and Great Expectations, Dickens remains one of the most iconic voices in English literature—nearly 150 years after his death.

Why this matters:

Charles Dickens didn’t just write stories—he exposed the soul of Victorian England.

He gave voice to orphans, debtors, street kids, and broken men. His novels weren’t escapism—they were a social microscope. Through serialized fiction read by millions, Dickens tackled poverty, child labor, bureaucracy, greed, and redemption.

He gave us names like Scrooge, Fagin, and Miss Havisham—characters so vivid they feel more real than most politicians.

And though he died in 1870, his influence continues—from classrooms to Netflix.

How well do you know the man behind the pen?

From humble beginnings to literary superstardom, today’s quiz dives into the works, characters, and legacy of Charles Dickens.
