Reasoning

Currently, there are so few questions that frequent users can memorize all the answers. Adding more questions will help alleviate this problem. (And now I will know all the answers evil laugh)

Proposed Implementation

Modify sir-lancebot/bot/resources/fun/trivia_quiz.json with the new questions.
