Very nasty pub quiz questions.

Old Nick Esq., 11 October, 2008 at 19:27 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 8

In honour of my wee pal who died there rcently, who could just about have been described as a professional quizzer.... We shall be holding a wee pub quiz in Belfast sometime in the immediate future.

Not quite your usual quiz... It will in point of fact be the Mother of all nasty pub quizzes, a funking barsteward of a quiz if you will.

The premise is this, all of the questions will appear easy. Insofar as there will be an obvious, or commonly held answer.

However, as you've probably guessed, the commonly held, "easy" answer will be incorrect. (It's really one for the quiz nerds).

The picture round will be people in disguise and the music round will all be covers... Geddit?

Now.... Any suggestions for questions?!? ?

    Yes... Very QI-ish. Probably with a curveball or two (Being questions were smartarses think the common answer is wrong, when in fact it's correct)

    Didn't know they had forums... That'll be a good strating point.

    You should get the QI book, 'The Book of General Ignorance'. I've got it and it's full of them. Examples:

    How many wives did Henry VIII have? 2

    How many nostrils does a human have? 4

    Where is the driest place on earth? Antarctica

    What man-made artefact can been seen from the moon? None
