Test your knowledge, IkNOwSTuffs trivia night questions

Hey yall,

A few weeks ago I started doing trivia nights at a few local pubs here in Kuala Lumpur.
The nights are going really well and Im having alot of fun

Before I started doing the quizs I made a thread here asking for members to help me with questions.

The thread is here

Anyway in that thread I said I would post a vid of the night when I had a chance,
so far no vids but I thought Id post the questions from one of the nights for people to have a go at home.

Ill post the questions now and the answers later after a few of you have a go.
No cheating to make yourself look cleverer

Good Luck

That's a bit complicated. Should be made simpler if you want to get people to go along with this. You should start off by asking one trivial question and whoever gets that right will ask the next question.

This could potentially be a good thread. Nice idea

Awesome idea.

Got the movie list pegged, that was easy... But that music list? O.o ...gunna have to step out on that one, whoa.

Seriously cool idea though!

Edit to add: Something tells me the real winner of this game is going to be Google.

42 to all of them.

Am I right?

Vs.

Sheesh 50 questions, I don't have time fore a test...you talkin to me?

LOL its not meant to be easy

A big difference on the night is that your in a team of upto 6 people so what someone doesnt know someone else might.

With these particular questions the lowest scoring team got 27 (only 2 of them) and the highest was 37.5 (4 on the team)

Later Ill post some one of my earlier quizs that are a bit easier

edit on 10-12-2012 by ThinkingCap because: (no reason given)

Yeah the music round stumps most people, you get half a point for the song title and half for the artist, the highest scoring team in that round only got 5

Baiting me huh? Well shorten your version of the game and maybe I'll play, the movie titles I get 6 of 10 easy; the rest I didn't bother with.

reply to post by littled16


24 is a great job considering how random and varied the questions are, teams of 6 only got 28-32.

Good work

LOL your as bad as some of the people who do the quiz
