Pub Quiz

[sarumite]

As compiler of a quiz at my local 3-4 times a year, I sometimes find it difficult to provide a complete set of INTERESTING (or amusing) questions.
If anybody has a particular favourite, I would be more than grateful for details (of Q and A).

SNAP! I do 20 questions followed by a picture round of 10 then a final set of 20 questions. The winning score is usually 40 - give or take! I set 4 Quizzes per year for a local Cricket Club.

Provide me with a neutral e-mail address and I'll send you a copy of one I've used already!

Thanks crofter, I will also then return the favour.

Hi Sarumite, Instead of a picture question my last round is based on Family Fortune questions. If you get 3rd answer right 1 point 2nd two points and 1st three points. It gives a chance to the team lagging.

One of my favourites is this. What was the name of the plane that dropped an h-bomb on Nagasaki. 90% of those that think they know it answer ENOLA GAY which is wrong,ENOLA GAY dropped hers on Hiroshima. BOCKS CAR is the answer.

[pesky]

Razza - any serious quizzer knows that answer!
My favourite is - Who said "I wish my angel cakes turned out like Fanny's?"

[pesky]

Or - to what was Sir Thomas Beecham referring when he said "Madam you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving pleasure to thousands and all you can do is scratch it!?"

[sarumite]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I do like the Sir Thomas Beecham quotation which is included in my next quiz. I believe it was recently a question asked on Mastermind.

[pesky]

Not humorous but a good question - what famous event happened in the year when all the Roman numerals are represented once only in correct descending order?

[razza]

To Pesky.Was it Johnny Craddock?

[crofter]

pesky I DO like your roman numeral question and I'll certainly use it! Thanks - crofter

[sarumite]

Yes, I'll certainly fire that one at my next quiz!
