What is the meaning of "trivia contest"?
Thanks for your answer.

Trivia is facts or details often considered unimportant.

A trivia contest consists of a series of questions about trivia.

For example:

How many number one songs did Madonna have in the 1980's?
What is the capitol of Ohio?
Who was the 21st president of the United States?
When was the Norman conquest?

Trivia are small bits of information. Often not important, often about celebrities, news, oddities, etc. People have contests to see who can answer the most questions. There are TV programs based on this idea.
