Every year, my district holds a trivia competition. Every lodge that wish's to compete forms a team of 4 people, its a really good time. I had the honor this year of being on my lodge's team and winning. We are the only lodge to have won it twice now =D all the questions are based off of our Constitution and ritual work. Obviously we can't be posting those kinds of questions here, but we can post trivia on other things. Landmarks, historical events etc...

Ill get things started by asking a question, knowing the answer and then we can see who has the answer or another piece of trivia. It should be fun and everyone should learn something from it.

Question: What is the Latin motto of the UGLE and its translation?

A lewis is an instrument in operative masonry. It is a cramp iron which is inserted into a cavity prepared for that purpose in any large stone, so as to give attachment to a pulley and hook whereby the stone may be conveniently raised to any height and deposited in its proper position.

Correct on the operative definition of a "Lewis". Now what's the speculative Masonic term?

"The son of a Mason who becomes a member of the Craft before he reaches lawful age. In England the term "Lewis" is a symbol of strength, a man's strength being represented in his son."

This was from my reading , but I found your "Lewis" answer also , RoughAshlar .
