Anyone awake and up for a pub quiz?

[Thepigeonsarecoming]

General knowledge quiz I’ll start and hand off to others

Yep red :)

What country has the biggest population of trees?

Russia

Grats Rafals. Next what’s the biggest mammal in the world?

Is it a whale? Blue whale?

Blue Whale is the answer that will set the QI klaxon off, right?

Yep Blue Whale, I would continue but I’m off to read the threads now :)

How many countries do you travel through if you want to go overland from Norway to a China ?

One - Russia

Ooh I want to play!

@fsmmum no other countries! a bit at the top of Norway is attached to Russia

My question: What year were kinder eggs first introduced to the market in their native country, Italy?

Well done

What’s the highest mountain in the world?

Mauna Kea or Everest, depends who you ask

Would you rather have ears like an elephant or a trunk like an elephant (changing things up)

Trunk like an elephant - their trunks are incredibly dexterous and sensitive to both smell and feel. It'd be helpful to have an appendage that could carry stuff for me!

@fsmmum thank you! Funnily enough the reason I know this is from an actual pub quiz asking which countries border Norway (got it wrong at the time, remembered it forever!)

No one answered my kinder surprise question, take a guess! This was a sudden death question for me at a recent quiz (I honestly don't do many...!) and we were the only team to get it right, completely on a punt!

Or, if you like, a weirder question: would you rather lose the ability to lie in all aspects, including omission and bending the truth, or unreservedly believe everything you're told without ever knowing you'd been lied to?

What the closest plant to the sun?

That's actually a trick / QI question because it depends on the orbit of the planets, it's very rare they line up in order.

Which single country has the largest area of permanent snow? Note the snow has to be both permanent and in one country so that rules out the Alps.

@sashh is it Greenland? Is that too obvious?

Far too obvious, and I'm still irked you confused the cafe with a job centre.

Yep it’s a trick question, not that I had a glass of wine and mistyped plant and planet 😂

I give up on normal questions, you’re too clever for me 😄

@PolPotNoodle I'd much rather loose the ability to lie! No question!

It would take one idiot to tell me I could fly......

@sashh it's going to be somewhere that'll annoy me like a nation in Africa or some mountainous country that you don't think about, isn't it?

Apologies for the misunderstanding, I've had a few rums.

Happy to hand this thread over to anyone with questions/facts, I’ll try to answer some in the future :)

@PolPotNoodle

It's also the country with the most wild camels (or was until recently, recent events may have changed that)

Australia

Well done @pickledchocolate

I thought I had killed the thread.
