Everyone is stuck at home and (presumably) missing their weekly pub trivia tournaments. Let’s do a virtual Blazer’s Edge edition!

The 15 questions are admittedly very difficult. Post your answers in the comments and I’ll reply with a correct percentage, but not indicate which ones are incorrect. Eventually we’ll have a complete set of correct replies. First person to get all 15 wins Comment of the Day.
