Hmmm - let's see. . . .   I always see things and thing "oooh, great trivia question!"  but I can never remember them when it's my turn to ask one!

So I'll fall back on this month's Nat'l Geographic Bee questions -

Which central Asian capital city is located northwest of the densely populated Fergana Valley?

What legendary baseball manager explained: "You have to have a catcher.  If you don't the pitch will roll all the way back to the screen"?

Thank you kitkatz, here is my question:
A #16 seed has never beaten a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament, but how many times has a #15 defeated a #2 seed?
