First, our last trivia answer: President Theodore Roosevelt’s Nobel Peace Prize, which he won in 1907 for helping to end the Russo-Japanese War.
We got some outstanding suggestions. Among them:
- AlexC: When was the last time the Peace Prize has been awarded for actually causing Peace?
- Lee Annis: Which is the first Nobel Peace Prize to go to a President of the United States, and the only to go to a Republican President, and the only to go to a President who negotiated a peace that lasted that the Congress did not repudiate? That should cover everything.
- MikeTheLibrarian: When was the last time before this year that a former US VP won a Nobel Peace Prize.
But none is the question we were looking for. That question: Which is the only Nobel Peace Prize that is housed permanently in the White House.
Now, the next Extreme Trivia answer: The last U.S. signer of the UN Charter to die.
What’s the question?
