General Subjects 339

This pack of pub quiz questions features ten high quality questions each on the following five subjects...

Science and Nature
Geography
Food and Drink
Sport and Games
TV and Films

A couple of example questions from the first of these rounds are as follows...

- What was the surname of the Irish hydrographer who devised a scale for measuring wind speeds when serving on HMS Woolwich in 1805?
- According to the organisation Project Splatter, which maps roadkill in the UK, what was the most common bird recorded as roadkill in the UK in the year 2021?

There are also two tie-breaker questions included that can be used in the event of two or more teams having the same score at the end of the quiz where a very difficult question is given that needs a numeric answer (e.g. "In what year was sliced bread first sold?"). The teams involved in the tie break can then write their answers on a blank piece of paper and hand them to you and whoever is closest wins the quiz.

While you could use all of this material on its own for your quiz, we recommend that you only use a few of these rounds in each quiz you do and that the rest is made up of handout rounds, plus a mix of other question and answer rounds. You can find plenty of handout rounds and question and answer packs on this site.

If you buy this quiz pack, we will give you access to download two pdf files. The first of these contains all of the questions and answers for all of the rounds in this pack. The second is a "questions only" version of this, and can be used if the quiz-master would like to take part in the quiz too. You might also be interested in our free answer sheets for teams to write their answers on as you read the questions.

You probably already have everything you need to access and use these rounds in your quiz, but you might want to check our requirements page to make sure.

Note that these quiz rounds already appear in Weekly Quizzes 851, 852 and 853. If you would prefer to buy pub quiz packs complete with a handout round, a variety of other question and answer rounds, plus specially designed answer sheets for teams to write their answers on, then please visit our Complete Quizzes section. If, however, you prefer to compile quizzes to your own format and are looking for extra rounds to use in this, then this quiz pack  will hopefully be of use to you.
