another quiz round for me

[mollykins]

as champions of the school quiz, our team get to do the quiz when we return, which means i have got to come up with a round.

I was thinking of a general ignorance round, of stuff you have to really think about because you've never done so before.

How many wives did Henry viii have that were completely legal and official, from the point of view of the church of England?

Where is the tallest mountain? (I’ll give you the clue, Everest is the highest, but not the tallest)

What is the only letter which doesn’t occur as a symbol for an element on the periodic table of elements?

Put in size order, smallest to biggest, Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune and Saturn?

What is the only muscle in the human body, to only be attached to the rest of you, at one end?

In a standard pack of playing cards, which is the only king not to have a moustache?










And these are the answers


2, but Catholics say 4
Hawaii, from sea level to the top it isn’t as high as Everest but from its base, Mauna Kea is ¾ of a mile taller than Everest
J
MNSJ
The tongue
Hearts

What do you think so far?

You could try The Book of General Ignorance by Lloyd & Mitchinson for additional material.

yeah i've got the pocket size version, that's all the shop had.

But i thought it was a good name for the round as, if you think hard enough about the question, you should get the answer.

Also another one which most people should get and would kick themselves for not remembering is the only mammal that lays eggs.

that leaves me with only two more questions which i'll probably get out of the qi book.

also the planets one is apropriate for my school as they are our houses plus there are sciencey people on every team, so they should be able to work it out.
