Questions for an ungoogleable quiz?

One of the rounds could be IQ type questions such as Pattern Recognition e.g. http://www.intelligencetest.com/questions/precognition.htm
You'd probably need to buy a book with them in though.

When they have literally ages to find the answers its very hard to get none  google questions sadly

Noises of things e.g. coffee grinder, bog flushing, somebody getting a good spanking.

"Arthur Jones is better known by what sobriquet?"

Bones

I definitely would include that one, Dave!

The thing is, though, using Google won't be prohibited as such (it would be pointless to try) rather I just want to make it as hard as possible to look up the answers.

Turn it on its head
Ask THEM to name 100 ungoogleable questions.
Problem solved

Are you asking the questions one at a time or are they on a question sheet with a time limit?

Try reading the OP!

Let me be absolutely clear about this, the Facts way...

I read the thread title, I can't be arsed reading the OP as well.

You think I'm joking.

He asked somebody for an answer to his question a few months back, so whoever it was, replied, at some length.

The Facts response was 'Deleted, unread, and you're blocked.'

WAC.

Do we PM them to you?

"What have I got in my pocket?"

Lint?

a hole?

human
male
alive
british
european
asian
other
Lint

Just give them a project e.g.

What has been the net effect of UK direct foreign aid on democratic institutions in recipient countries (+ve, neutral or -ve)?
What measurable climate predictions in the IPCC first assessment report of 1990 have come true?

or a really tough one

How many Nobel Prizes in the 20th Century have been won by people who were later found out to have fabricated part of their their data or story?

It'll keep them occupied for a while.

Just for a good old style treasure hunt type quiz.

What is the furthest anybody has ever shot their fat?

Think someone told me that pictures can somehow be googled now.

What about capital cities?

One question could be to ask an ungoogleable question as someone said... That is a good idea.  Sounds are good.  Thing is there is google and then there is forums... Eg. This one.  You can get hundreds or thousands or more brains on the job thanks to the internet.  And of course they could all be using the internet too.  You have a real task on your hands here mate.

their are apps you can use that identifies sound and visual recognition


Maybe odd one out questions.

There*

When will Pandora pay up ????? They will never get that one!!

Remember someone worked put how to put up a question which, when googled, sent you to the wrong answer.  Think it was studyform.  So if someone ever puts up that wrong answer then you know for sure they have googled and are disqualified.  Make it a quiz where googling is not allowed.

here are 6 for starters

Hi UTI.

To set my trap would take a little planning, but wouldn't be beyond those with a modicum of internet knowledge I feel.

Include a nonsense question such as "Which sportsman was known as The Babylonian Teapot?"  Make it worth triple points to attract interest.

Earlier in the day you will have primed your own website or blog with the keywords Athlete Arthur Jones The Babylonian Teapot so it appears near the top of any internet search engine.

Granted this subterfuge is wicked and devious, but then again so is cheating your mates in a pub quiz.

In January 2015, which 60+ year old celebrity beat the former 29 year old Golden Gloves Champion of California at a charity  boxing match?

is he not 29 any more?

Blimey, Dave, finding that quote from over four years ago is worth a point in itself! 

And many thanks, gentlemen, for the suggestions, they're much appreciated.  I particularly liked the odd one out idea.

In boxing history, where do Zach Clayton, Richard Greene, Davey Pearl, Frank Rustin and Arthur Mercante fit in?

How long is a piece of string?

Refs for Ali's five defeats.

How long is a piece of string?

That was the first practical on my chemistry degree. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the answer.

You knew there would be an Ali bias in the Q, you sneaky bastard.

I have two pieces here, so it's either 18 inches or 45 inches.

In January 2015, which 60+ year old celebrity beat the former 29 year old Golden Gloves Champion of California at a charity  boxing match?

My guess was Mickey Rourke, but that was in 2014.

You could use an anagram generator to create anagrams of famous people's names

Just googled it and it is Mickey Rourke.

So sagc has not only come up with an ungoogleable answer that is readily googleable he has got the bloody dates wrong.  He is just always wrong about everything that guy.

Three clues. 1) Mercante 2) Five of them 3)You!

I didn't know the answer for sure though. Until I googled...

Has learner leanred how to play a disc?

Google THAT mofos!

Q1.Side by side Derby winners
Q2.Lapdog
Q3.Birddog
Q4.The main draw.

1. Sanglamore & Quest For Fame
2. Pomeranian
3. Everly Brothers
4. The National Lottery

What do I win?

Nothing as all four answers are wrong.

Those aren't questions, so surely anything will do.

What are they if not questions ?

Each has a logical clear answer that I hope can't be googled.

Well a question has a ? after it, does it not? Yours give no indication as to what you're looking for. Even if you put a ? after each, they'd be terrible questions.

Logical and clear.

I thought the Q before them indicated they were questions.

They are hard which was what the opening poster seemed to be looking for.

Lapdog?

Doesn't work, does it?

He's looking for questions, not words.

Cryptic crossword clues are kind of ungoogleable.  Like I say there is never anything stopping someone from going on forums like this and getting hundreds or more peoples' brains on the case.

First winner of a horse race started from starting stalls in the UK?

You say its a local charity.

You could quite easily set questions that only local people might know the answer to.  Questions that would be too provincial for google to be interested.

You could have a round of photos of local places, not showing the whole scene, but more obscure ones….parts of road/street signs…parts of pub signs….benches…bridges...trees…. beds of flowers along side roads….take
photos of parts rather than the whole.  Go out with your camera and get creative!  Could use effects apps or similar to create various effects on the photos to make them more difficult to get.

@Jack Hacksaw has the right answer.

You can also nip to the library for local history or the local paper. Maybe include a question about the charity as well. Is the local football team lower-division?

BUT don't overdo it. If the questions are too hard, people will give up. At least 80 per cent probably should be found on google.
