We bet even the most passionate students of all things Nova Scotia won't be able to answer all 1000 of these questions. We double-dog dare you to give it a try!

From which beach is pictured on the front of the Nova Scotia health card, to which famed American gangster was a regular visitor to a small fishing village on the province's South Shore during prohibition, to what Nova Scotia bank was the site of the first recorded bank robbery in North America in 1861, these are just some of the questions that will stump even the biggest trivia buffs in the province.

And there is more. Lots more. Who was Nova Scotia's first Black doctor? Who was the Nova Scotia-born inventor who made kerosene in the 1850s and is now known as the father of the petroleum industry? What was the name of Nova Scotia's first convicted murderer?
