Answer: By writing a trivia book.

Question: How can the all-time “Jeopardy!” champion extend his 15 minutes of fame?

Ken Jennings famously rode a 74-game winning streak on “Jeopardy!” in 2004, and now he shares his nuggets of knowledge with you in his weighty “Trivia Almanac.”

Designed to look like an almanac — complete with quaint, goofy clip art and folksy fonts — the book contains about two dozen questions for each day of the year, separated into themed games and supplemented with historic facts for that date (example: “1932: Future ‘Tarzan’ star Cheeta is born in Liberia”).

It’s a lot of fun for those into arcane knowledge. Keep it around the office to share in the enjoyment with co-workers during those mid-morning lulls, because not much spices up the day than a spirited debate over the color of Bo Derek’s swimsuit in the movie “10.”
