Smile Book of Mormon Trivia

Hello all!

I'm new here, so I really don't want this to sound spammy, but I just launched a Book of Mormon Trivia game for the iPhone and I'm hoping to get feedback about it. It looked to me that the General forum would be best place to do this, so here I am

It's my first iPhone app and I'm very excited about it, there's over 200 Book of Mormon questions of varying difficulty (some of them are really hard!) with more on the way, and it lets you see what questions you got wrong and what the right answers are.

I'd love to hear from everyone about what features you'd like to see, or anything you'd like changed about the app.

If you've got iTunes you can find the app here: iTunes Store

Thanks!

Jacob?

Who did Nephi son of Helaman pass the records to?

I think Jacob got the small plates. Since it was Sam that followed Nephi I would have to assume it was him. But I honestly don't know.

I know the large plates were passed from kings to kings. I'm just wondering about the time frame that Nephi had them till the time that there were actually kings. There wasn't a king at the time that Nephi and Sam moved their family into the Americas and a Nephite establishment was made from those that followed Nephi.

Something I just read says in 544 BC Nephi chooses a king and gives him charge of the large plates of Nephi. But it doesn't say who the King is.

I must get to the bottom of this. hahaha

So are you going to say that the answer is "we don't know"? Jacob doesn't specifically mention the large plates in Jacob chapter 1 when he's taking over for Nephi, so I guess you could make the argument that he might have given them to the king that he appointed. I find that unlikely though. There's no indication anywhere that I know of that the record was split up like that, and Jacob clearly had the small plates. I think Jacob there was pointing out Nephi's instruction to keep the small plates for spiritual matters, rather than implying that he didn't have the large plates.

I could be wrong though
