Excellent a fun aptitude.  I would probably have it that the
Academic:Trivia aptitude is a single roll but there is a 50:50 chance
as to whether the information is relevant or not.  Say, roll a D6

1-3 The information is related to the field but completely useless to
the situation.
4-6 The information is related to the field and relevant to the
situation.

An aptitude like this could be fun to play.

Cheers
