Hi, to try to keep family entertained during isolation I’ve been doing quizzes where each family links up on skype. It’s been going great but as quiz master i need to find questions each week (and verify the answers!)
Due to kids and things I’m struggling to fit this in so thought maybe this might be a good place where we could maybe add random popular quiz type questions (and answers) that we may know then it could be like a reference point if other people want to use.
So far I’ve been googling them but keep finding the same things now.
I’ll add some In a while that I’ve used so far but if others could that would help me hugely.
Thank you!

Oh I missed the double land locked bit.
Interesting.
I'll have to think.

Can't see which one would have been right then

WarmSausageTea · 16/04/2020 18:22

@steppemum - you first mentioned one of the correct countries, but for the wrong question, iyswim.

steppemum · 16/04/2020 18:32

hmm, well, least densely populated according to google comes up as many different ones depending on if you allow islands or only countries, but of the countries it gives Greenland first and Mongolia second, so I think your answer may be under question!

WarmSausageTea · 16/04/2020 18:38

Greenland doesn’t count, in that it isn’t an independent sovereign state. It’s self-governing, but a dependency (l think that’s the word) of Denmark. So Mongolia is the least densely populated country.

OP have you seen the virtual pub quiz that is being held in a Thursday evening? The guy in charge, Jay, has also done lots of specialist subject rounds (inc kids quizzes) and they're all available on YouTube free
Here's the link to his channel - you can search through for all the quizzes he's done. He's very good!

Yes please @Dowser - that was fun. There was an emoji countries one online if anyone would like me to copy it here?

Dowser · 17/04/2020 15:13

Oh yes please

Dowser · 17/04/2020 15:19

Well done to the person/ people who got what’s the frequency Kenneth and so long Marianne
If I hadn’t of written it , I wouldn’t have had a clue on the REM one and I think I would’ve got well stuck on the rolling stone bit of the question.

I can’t do cryptic crosswords for toffee.
I should try, it might keep these brain cells alive and kicking.

If I can find it I have a short disease emoji one , that I didn’t write
