New to puffins for 2003, Knowledge Cards from Pomegranate Communications. Each deck contains 48 "Playing Cards" with a question on one side and an answer on the the other. Each deck covers an interesting topic in detail well beyond "casual knowledge". A great gift for the serious trivia buff.

Example: From the Scientific American Astronomy Deck.
Q: "What is a nebula?"
A: "A nebula (from Latin, meaning "cloud") is a concentration of gas and dust particles in interstellar space. They exist in our own and other galaxies.
Two types are planetary nebulae and diffuse nebulae. Planetary nebulae resemble planets when observed through a telescope and are produced by dying stars. Diffuse nebulae are extremely large structures (light years in size) that have a cloudlike appearance, with no definite shape or outline."
