Riddle:

Powerful Serpent, White of Skin

Guard Master's base, let no one in!

Answer:
This riddle refers to the White Snake summon and server!
Line one literally refers the summon, White Snake. Serpent. White. Snakes are a type of serpent.
Line two refers to Orochimaru's base, and how the White Snake waits outside, seemingly guarding it.
Once you put the two lines together it becomes clear that the answer to the riddle has to be the White Snake server, and the location is the White Snake summon, just outside Orochimaru's base in the Land of Fire Forest! Other serpent-based servers just won't do!

Shino's Trivia Question:
What made me laugh uncontrollably as a genin?

Answer:
The correct and full answer to this trivia is "Laughing drug put into food that Shino ate!" However I also would have accepted laughing poison or poisoned food! Unfortunately, answers that cannot be accepted are laughing gas, since the anime clearly states that it was the food that Shino ate that caused him to laugh, meaning the drug was food soluble and not a gas. Other unacceptable answers are any other impetus involving the situation. If you watch the episode closely, Shino laughs at nothing when he first eats the food, indicating that the drug itself causes him to laugh uncontrollably; he is not actually set off by external stimuli that are simply made more funny by the drug!
Note that poison vs. drug is acceptable due to translation issues!
Also note that some of the longer essay copy-pastes of the wiki synopsis of the Laughing Shino episode did NOT qualify for the trivia answer because they did NOT answer the trivia question of what actually caused Shino to laugh!
