The questions came from a "Trivia Quizzes" book I bought for £1.99 the other day. Similar to yours study, in that there are 10 questions on 250 particular topics. Works well, although I wish the answers were on the bottom of the questions pages to save flicking back and forth! [smiley:crazy]

Also typed out Austrain rather than Austrian in one of the questions. Must learn to get that typing pattern sorted!

And for question number 4, I'd have probably only awarded study a point. "1 billion" and "1.3 billion" scored in the quiz itself.

A 20-question general knowledge quiz will begin at 22:30 if there are going to be at least six participants.

1 point per correct answer, so no FFF.

Sorry I can't give greater warning than this, but I can't promise I can be anywhere in the near-future with the ideas my mates pull out of the sky!

Call me the impromptu quizmaster. Cool
