General Subjects 388

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

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

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

- Which of the mother sauces from French cuisine is made from milk thickened with a white roux?
- Which cut of beef has often been mistakenly said to have got its name when an English king knighted a particularly tasty cut of beef he had, but actually comes from a French phrase - the first part of which means "above"?

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.

Note that these quiz rounds already appear in Weekly Quizzes 973, 974, and 975. 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.
