I'm hosting a quiz night in a couple of weeks' time for the charity where I work. I've been testing out the questions on some people who aren't coming and I think they are a bit too easy. So, I need some fiendishly difficult questions to stick in there so that we don't end up with lots of teams on full points. The rounds are Sport, Literature, London, Food & drink, TV & film, General knowledge, In the news and Music.
Hit me with some questions - if I don't know the answers without Googling then I will put them on the longlist!
A human being has 23 pairs of chromosomes, a trait we share with which other animal?
What round is that in? I have no idea!
