NewMexiKen has received my first of Ken Jennings’ weekly trivia quizzes and I must say it’s tough. They’re sent by email, so click the link to sign up.
Meanwhile The Quiz Blogger has some trivia quizzes (posted to the blog) that are just incredible.
It wouldn’t be right to copy trivia from either Jennings or The Quiz Blogger, so I won’t except to give you this example of the first six of 100 questions from the latter’s A Hundred Strong BH82 For Pondering on a Summer’s Day:
1 Famed for its Konig pilsener and its regional brands Licher Pilsner and Lubzer Pils, which brewery was founded in Hamburg’s Altona district in 1879 and produces 12.9 hectolitres of beer per year?
2 Which 24-year-old Australian motorcycle racer rides a Suzuki GSX-R1000 and is the reigning World Superbikes champion?
3 Which pair, one the MP for Dewsbury, the other MP for Tooting, were the first British-born Muslims to be elected to the House of Commons
4 In the 1989 Tour de France which French cyclist and Tour winner in 1983 and 1984, did Greg Lemond beat by just eight seconds to win the competition?
5 In which sport is the Swatch-FIVB World Tour a competition?
6 Which Ethiopian tribe in the remote corner of country known as the Omo Valley is famed for its unique rituals, including its coming-of-age ceremony, which sees young men of the village jumping over cattle while their female relatives are whipped?
