Quiz Pub UK</h2>
<br />
It took 4 months working 7 days a week to redesign the website and it was well worth the effort, I am so proud of the new look and I hope you like it too. If you haven't seen the website yet then this link will take you to one of the many <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/pub-quiz-questions.htm" target="_blank">free Quiz Questions and Answers</a> pages, a new tab will open so you don't lose your place here.<br />
<br />
The reason I redesigned the website was to make it mobile friendly as the old website wasn't responsive to different screen sizes and widths, a responsive website will adjust the size of the pictures, text and even change the layout to fit perfectly on any screen.<br />
<br />
While I was working on each of the 90 pages I took the opportunity to examine the products for that page and make sure any questions were accurate and not outdated, improve any pictures that I wasn't happy with, improved the instructions in the quiz packs and lots of other upgrades. It's nice to know that everything my customers download is perfect and that they'll be very happy with their purchases.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Accurate Quiz Questions</h3>
So far I've made 143 <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/ready-made-pub-quizzes.htm" target="_blank">ready made pub quizzes</a> and for the last 3 weeks I've been going through each of them and checking for grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes and also checking each question and answer is accurate and relevant. I've taken the trouble to add side notes to some of the questions so the quiz master can quote them making it look like they've researched the question themselves, instead of me doing it for them, here's an example:<i> </i><br />
<i> In which decade was the first 'Guinness Book of Records' published and for another point in which decade was the first 'Record Breakers' TV show? 50's (1955) & 70's (15th December 1974 on BBC1)</i><br />
<br />
I came across a few quiz questions that didn't have definitive answers, one such question I remember not being able to find an accurate answer to was, "Who was the first actor to be paid $1 million for 1 picture?", I found so many conflicting answers that I thought it best to remove that question altogether and choose a better one.<br />
<br />
At the time of writing this I'm up to checking Pub Quiz 60 so I'm 40% of the way through, but I'm not going to rush it, so I'm looking at another months work and in the mean time I'm also making a new pub quiz every week for the website to keep my existing customers happy.<br />
<br />
<h3>
New Quiz Products</h3>
A nice new shiny website needs new content and great new products so I've been busy with that too. <br />
<br />
I've made multiple choice quiz packs in 3 difficulty levels, each pack took weeks to make but fortunately I made those before I started work on improving website. All I had to do was make the advertising graphics for them, here's one I made earlier.<br />

I was getting a few requests for audio music quizzes last year, what we call in the trade 'Bits & Pieces' and I was reluctant to make these as I thought it might infringe on someones copyright, however, after doing some research I found that because they are being used in a quiz and I'm only using a few seconds of each one then I'm happy that they fall into the fair use niche for educational and review purposes. <br />
<br />
Because the quiz teams normally have to guess the title of the song in a bits and pieces music quiz the chorus or the best part of each song is never used, a lot of the time it's just a few riffs from a guitar, or a distinctive drum beat. Apart from using these in a quiz they have absolutely no value anywhere else so I'm happy I'm not ripping anyone off and I'm even using CD's that I purchased myself so the artist has already been paid.<br />

We get a lot of customers that want these extra bonus rounds to liven up their quiz nights such as Dingbats, Rebus Puzzles and Catchphrase picture quizzes that we already have on offer. A while back I made a quite a few speed quizzes, these involve handing out a sheet of paper and telling the quiz teams that they have 3 minutes to write down as many James Bond movies that they can think of for example, the team who gets the most wins some bonus points. After reviewing all the speed quizzes I found a few of them were dated and decided to remake all of them excluding any I didn't think were much fun to play and replacing them with much better ones.</div>

I've hosted these speed rounds in my own quiz nights and they've gone down very well, I get lots of people come up to me at the end of the quiz praising it which gives me confidence knowing that my website customers are going to be happy with them too.<br />

<h4>
The Pub Quiz Website Content</h4>
Not everyone wants to do a fun quiz, there are a lot of people who simply want questions, maybe they're doing a quick quiz for charity or they only need 10 or 20 quiz questions for a party. Because I want to cater to everyone and keep my visitors entertained I've put a huge amount of effort into making pages and pages of free quiz questions and answers and adding fun facts and short articles accompanied by videos and so on. Each page is in effect an article, a very interesting article too and very valuable if you are looking for information, as a matter of fact these pages of free quiz questions get the most visitors, roughly 1 million visits a year! It took me a day to make each page, please take a look at this example page: <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/pub-quiz-questions.htm" target="_blank">Pub Quiz Questions</a><br />
<br />
So, that's what I've been up to and why you haven't seen me write any blogs for a long time, before that I was making my quiz app and that took over 2 years to do and also prevented me from writing on this blog. Anyhow I'm back now so you can look forward to lots of free quiz stuff and interesting articles for you to get quiz material from, if you've never visited this blog before then scroll down or select older blogs in the archive at the top of the page on the right. I hope you find something interesting that you can use, if you do please leave comments so I know my articles are being appreciated, thanks.</div>

<h3>
Concept</h3>
At <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/" target="_blank">Quiz Pub UK</a> I have amassed a considerable amount of fun trivia, fun facts, puzzles and so on that I create weekly to put into my quiz packs for pubs to download. The website ticks over but doesn't make much money, not enough for the amount of work I put into research and writing the quizzes, each quiz takes me 2 or 3 days to create.<br />
<br />
So, I thought it would be a good idea to create a quiz game that I could put all my trivia into. It took about 3 months to learn the basics of Lua which is the language of Android. Several more months to learn <a href="https://coronalabs.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Corona SDK</a> and create the basics of the game and type out thousands of questions, plus I had to create four possible answers for each one, it was a mammoth task.<br />

<h4>
Knowledge</h4>
This took about 3000 hours working day and night, it was so monotonous and took a lot of concentration. Every question was hand picked and sorted into easy, medium and hard. Then each answer was checked to see if it was accurate. I purposely only chose questions that any native English speaking person in the world would have a chance of answering, not an easy task.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
I decided early on that I wanted the rounds in the game to be displayed as a pyramid that you worked your way to the top to win the game. This made me think of adding a few different games in between the knowledge rounds to mix things up a bit so I went for a word game called Conundrum and a TV game show called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catchphrase_%28UK_game_show%29" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Catchphrase</a>. More on those games later. I put a shop at the end of each level for the players to spend what they had earned on buying lives and passes or trying to win them in one of the 9 different gamble games.<br />
I re-drew that pyramid over 20 times over the last 2 years because I kept changing the games! This is the easy pyramid, the Aztec Zone where everything is tropical and so is the music. I then thought of pyramid locations for the medium and hard zones, I could only think of two, Egypt and Las Vegas so I went with those. As you can imagine, I've already started to create a monster project for myself. I have to create everything myself, I can't afford to pay anybody anything I'm just about surviving, just! I'm no artist and I've not really been much of a graphic artist but for the game to be taken seriously I knew I had to put a lot of effort into making the graphics as top notch as I can. In the end I've made over 1200 high definition graphics for Game Show Adventure. I'm quite proud of my frog.<br />

Conundrum</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's an interesting game, a hard game for many people in fact. What I did was picked a word, any word and mixed up the letters to try and form a new word or a sentence. This method hides the original word very well and is very off putting. Because this game can be so annoying I put clue tokens in the game to give you a clue to what the original word is you're looking for. This took considerable effort on my part creating hundreds of anagrams in easy, medium and hard, not only that but I had to check that you couldn't make another word out of each one too, I'm glad I've done it and been so thorough, it's one game I won't have to add to at a later date.</div>

I'm just a sucker for punishment, I knew what I was getting myself into, basically I was creating an entire app as only one small part of my overall game. In case you've never seen the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catchphrase_%28UK_game_show%29" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TV show Catchphrase</a>, contestants are shown an animated picture that is trying to purvey a well known saying or phrase, song title or product. I started off by reading lots and lots of phrases and picking the ones I could translate in pictures. The best way to work out the word is to start by looking at the blank words, in the screen shot you can see it's made up of two words. Then look at the each blank word to see how long each one is. This will help you when looking at the picture, the first picture is a stage like you would see in a theater. Behind this is a train station. See if you can figure out the phrase before I give you the answer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I did some clever programming in this game. I made the code strip all the spaces out of the phrase, then take out all the repeat letters, then add random letters to make up 10 and display them at the bottom of the screen for the players to tap, like a small keyboard, that you use to fill in the blank tiles in the middle of the screen.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The catchphrase in the picture is Play Station.</div>

I've also gone to the trouble to make the boxes different and the amount of them too. This game is at the very top of the pyramid so when you get here you can relax. I spent a lot of time on the graphics in this game as you can see in the screen shot. If you've never seen this game on the TV then it's a simple case of choosing a box for yourself, then proceeding to open the others and getting offers for your box each time. Can you win the million? If you do you get a trophy to add to your trophy room. At this point my game has a definite theme, game shows hence the name Game show Adventure!</div>

The History of Tea</h2>
I've read somewhere that tea was an accidental discovery, like most discoveries are,<br />by a Chinese Emperor Shen Nung who was drinking hot water in his garden when<br />some tea leaves accidentally blew into his cup from a nearby tree. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7AhFW7nWmqOa7QwAyYf9-H9hkSkY-YsPSiRreJRfJGWM_oncK9tuQv6sy2tbhRrdmkdcNOMVEp5EgGxkV0AmplbAjN11VX2EdAKNf5y0wnU29NB6W8Ytz9W3RcbjHrBfpK77AKgONgI7b/s1600/emperor.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7AhFW7nWmqOa7QwAyYf9-H9hkSkY-YsPSiRreJRfJGWM_oncK9tuQv6sy2tbhRrdmkdcNOMVEp5EgGxkV0AmplbAjN11VX2EdAKNf5y0wnU29NB6W8Ytz9W3RcbjHrBfpK77AKgONgI7b/s1600/emperor.png" /></a></div>
<br />Of course the story is so old that it could be a myth and no-one knows for sure. <br />One argument is did India or China discover tea first, from what I've read there is <br />a high probability that tea did in fact get discovered in China first.<br />Where did the saying Cha come from? Cha is a Chinese character that was added<br />to the language in A.D.3 specifically to describe hot water infused with tea leaves.<br />And to bolster the argument further it was many centuries later that tea plants were<br />imported into to Calcutta from China to begin mass cultivation for the British market.<br />

How about the tea bag?</h3>

<h3>
</h3>
Another misconception is that Tetley's invented the tea bag,<br />
well they didn't, in fact they didn't start making tea bags until<br />
nearly 50 years after they were being widely used in the USA.<br />
The tea bag was invented by an American named Thomas Sullivan, a New York tea merchant, who started to send samples of tea to his customers in small silken bags in 1908 and the concept quickly caught on as a convenient and less messy way to make a cuppa.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It was Tetley in 1953 that drove the introduction of tea bags in Britain, in the 60's<br />tea bags only made up 3% of all tea drunk in the UK, this was due mainly to the<br />fact that Britons returning from the US would tell horror stories of being served a<br />luke warm cup of water with a tea bag on the side.<br />Anyhow, Tetley managed to sway the British public and completely reversed the<br />way they made their tea, by dispensing of the string attached to the bag so it could<br />be allowed to move freely in the teapot, now only 3% of tea is made with loose leaves!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Why do we add milk to our tea?</h3>
In the early years green tea was the tea of choice but tea was expensive<br />which lead some greedy and unscrupulous traders to add other leaves to mix some of<br />which were poisonous. This lead to black tea becoming more popular and because<br />black tea is more bitter people added milk and sugar to make it taste better.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Health benefits of tea</h3>
Of all the studies that have been made about tea there have never been found any<br />harmful effects, in fact tea has less caffeine than coffee.<br />Tea has been shown to reduce cholesterol, combat diabetes, cancer and even promote<br />weight loss. Tea is packed with antioxidants and is good for circulation thus is<br />good for your heart and brain, it even reduces the lung damage caused by smoking.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Which is the best tea to drink?</h3>
All of them! Although, like most foods, the more processed it is the less of the good <br />stuff it contains even the most processed teas are still very good for you.<br />Here is a list of popular teas by order of highest to lowest anti-oxidizing powers.<br />
<br />

List Of Tea's</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h4>
White Tea</h4>
Uncured and UN-fermented. One study showed that white tea has the most potent <br />anticancer properties compared to more processed teas.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Green Tea</h4>
The leaves are steamed in production, they have a high concentration of flavonoids<br />and are well studied. Green tea has been shown to combat the growth of bladder, <br />breast, lung, stomach, pancreatic, and colon cancers. Prevent clogging of the <br />arteries and burn fat. Relieve oxidizing stress on the brain, reduce risk of neurological <br />disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, reduce risks of stroke and improve <br />cholesterol levels.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Black Tea</h4>
Made with fermented tea leaves, black tea has the highest caffeine content and <br />studies have shown that black tea may protect lungs from damage caused by exposure <br />to cigarette smoke. It also reduces the risk of brain diseases.<br />So there you have it, everything you need to know about tea and plenty of facts you<br />can use in your quizzes. What next?

True or False</h2>
Good day fellow quizzers.<br />I've been really really busy lately with keeping the <a href="http://facebook.com/quizpubuk" target="_blank">Facebook Pub Quiz</a> page engaging and fun. <br />Writing new pub quizzes for the <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/" target="_blank">pub quiz website</a> every week but the biggest time consumer by far is the <br />quiz app I've been working on, which never seems to be near completion.<br />So it's been a while since I've posted anything on this pub quiz blog and I thought<br />I'd better make the effort today to at least write something.<br /><br />I'm going to give you a list of true or false questions for you to have a go at and then<br />at the end I'm going to give you the answers plus a bit more info to go with each one<br />so you will leave this article more enlightened and a little more educated.<br />Let's see if you can get 10 out of 10.<br />
<br />
<h3>
True or False Questions</h3>
1. A butterfly has four wings?<br />2. Luke Skywalker was Princess Leia's brother?<br />3. On a bottle of wine spumante means sweet?<br />4. Twiki was a robot in Battlestar Galactica?<br />5. The famous magician Harry Houdini was Italian?<br />6. Walt Disney’s Seven Dwarfs worked in a gold mine?<br />7. Blue is the most common eye colour in the world?<br />8. Tarantula bites are deadly to the human beings?<br />9. Sony produced the first battery powered cassette recorder?<br />10. Bats always turn left when they leave a cave?<br /><br />OK, so that didn't take long but did you think about those questions long enough?<br />Maybe you should go through them again just to make sure, you do want to<br />get full marks don't you? I do love true or false questions because they make you<br />think, "is it true or is it a myth?" or is the quiz master trying to trick me?<br />I ask my friend these sorts of questions all the time and he never believes me most<br />of the time, he then goes home and looks it up on the internet to make sure I'm not<br />pulling his leg.<br />Anyhow, let's get on to the answers.<br />
<br />
<h3>
True or False Answers</h3>
<br />1. True, a butterfly does have four wings.<br />Did you also know that the original name for the butterfly was flutterby? Seems<br />hard to believe doesn't it? But it's true!<br />The origin of the name butterfly, is a fly that eats butter. Going even further back, <br />to the dutch origin, "Butter Shitter", because the dutch thought the insect pooped on the butter.<br />Did you know butterflies taste with their feet?<br /><br />2. True, they both have the same father, Darth Vader!<br /><br />3. False, The word spumante, which means foaming in Italian, is a general term used for <br />almost any type of sparkling wine made in Italy, while one that is sweet will be called dolce.<br /><br />4. False, Twiki was the robot in Buck Rogers In The 25th Century, who's catchphrase was, <br />"biddi-biddi-biddi, hey Buck.."<br />followed by some funny 20th century slang he picked up from Buck Rogers.<br /><br />5. False, Harry Houdini was a Hungarian-American illusionist and stunt performer, <br />noted for his sensational escape acts.<br /><br />6. False, Walt Disney’s Seven Dwarfs, named Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, <br />Sneezy and Dopey worked in a diamond mine.<br />The Seven Dwarfs finish their digging work for the day, singing the "Dig, Dig" song.. <br />"We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. <br />In a mine the whole day through. <br />We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. <br />It's what we like to do. <br />It ain't no trick. To get rich quick. If you dig, dig, dig, with a shovel or a pick. <br />In a mine. In a mine. In a mine. In a mine. <br />Where a million diamonds shine."<br /><br />7. False, brown is the most common eye colour in the world.<br />Brown eyes range from light brown or honey to almost black. <br />Light brown or amber eyes are common in many ethnicities including among Africans, <br />Asians and Caucasians. Genetically brown appears to be more dominant than other eye colors, <br />hence its prevalence. <br /><br />Blue eyes are quite rare and are becoming less common. A few generations ago 30% of those <br />born had blue eyes; now that number has decreased to about one in six. <br />This eye color is often found among people of European descent.<br /><br />Grey eyes are a variant of blue eyes, only much lighter. <br />Grey eyes often include a combination of other tints including light blue or greenish.<br /><br />Green eyes are among the most rare eye color and only about 2% of people possess green eyes. <br />They are typically found among people with Germanic or Slavic origins.<br /><br />8. False, if a tarantula bites you, you may have pain at the site of the bite similar to a bee sting. <br />The area of the bite may become warm and red. On extreemly rare occassions, like if you are <br />allergic to venom, a tarantula bite might become fatal.<br /><br />9. False, although Sony is famous for the Walkman the first company was Phillips.<br />Phillips was founded in May 15, 1891, Eindhoven, Netherlands.<br /><br />10. Depends where you live!<br />True, Bats do indeed always turn left when they leave their cave in the Northern hemisphere.<br />False, Bats always turn right when they leave their cave in the Southern hemisphere.<br />This is due to the coriolis effect, the same force which causes hurricanes and tornadoes to rotate <br />counter-clockwise north of the equator and clockwise south of the equator. <br />This effect is an inertial force caused by the earth's rotation. <br /><br />So there you have it, did you learn something new today? <br />Please leave a comment if you enjoyed this article, it's always nice to know my hard work is<br />appreciated.

Brain Teasers For Fun</h2>
Hello fellow quizzer, I hope you're having a nice time reading my interesting blogs here on Blogger today.<br />
In this article I'm going to give you 2 <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/brain-teasers-puzzles.htm" target="_blank">brain teasers</a> taken from 2 of my <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/pub-quizzes.htm" target="_blank">pub quizzes</a>.<br />
I will reveal the answers when some of you post a reply and have a guess, until then enjoy!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Brain Teaser 1</h3>
Two Mafia bosses were sat at a bar drinking scotch on the rocks one fine summer evening in New York.<br />
Unknown to them one of their enemies had instructed the bar man to poison all their drinks.<br />
One of the Mafia bosses drank a lot faster than the other one, infact he drank 5 glasses of Scotch by the time the other one had only drunk 1 glass of Scotch!<br />
The boss that had only drunk one glass died on the spot, but the other boss that drank 5 glasses felt no ill effects at all even though all his drinks had been poisoned in exactly the same way, how can this be?<br />
<br />

Brain Teaser 2</h3>
You might want to get some match sticks or tooth picks and set them out as in the picture below, it might make it easier for you to solve, see how long it takes you.<br />

First I'm going to give you some facts that you can use to make original quiz questions and then I'm going to finish off with some great fun questions about the actual states names.<br />
<br />
<h2>
The States of America</h2>
<br />
Everybody knows that there are 50 states that <span class="st">share sovereignty with the United States federal government.</span><br />
<span class="st">Let's begin with the history of how the states came into existence and how they evolved over time.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">Did you know America was given the name by a German map maker? Back in 1507 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Waldseem%C3%BCller" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Martin Waldseemüller</a> created a map of the world on which he named the great lands of the Western Hemisphere "America" after the Italian explorer and navigator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerigo_Vespucci" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amerigo Vespucci</a>.</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st">The states started out with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteen_Colonies" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">13 British colonies</a>, the first of which was <a href="http://www.virginia.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Virginia</a> founded in 1607 and lastly by <a href="http://www.exploregeorgia.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Georgia</a> in 1733. </span><span class="st">The colonies joined together to declare independence in 1776.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="st"><u>Quiz Facts</u></span><br />
<span class="st">The state of Virginia was named after Queen Elizabeth I, the virgin queen.</span><br />
<span class="st">Georgia was named after King George II</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st">The term United States of America was first coined in 1776 when <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/thomasjefferson" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Thomas Jefferson</a> included the phrase in all capital letters in the heading of his "original Rough draught" of the Declaration of Independence.</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span class="st">The Original 13 States of America</span></h3>
<span class="st">Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island.</span><br />

<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st"><a href="http://www.state.nj.us/nj/about/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">New Jersey</a> was named by James, brother of King Charles II of England, who named the colony New Jersey to honour <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_George_Carteret" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sir George Carteret</a>, who had been the Governor of <a href="http://www.jersey.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jersey</a>, a British island in the English Channel.</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st"><a href="http://www.ctvisit.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Connecticut</a> gets it's name from the Connecticut River which got its name from the <a href="http://www.mohican-nsn.gov/Departments/Library-Museum/Mohican_History/origin-and-early.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mohican</a> Indian word "quonehtacut", which means "the place of the long tidal river."</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Massachusetts</a> got its name from the Massachusetts Bay which was given its name by the Pilgrim Fathers who founded the Plymouth Colony in 1620. They named the Bay after the <a href="http://www.bigorrin.org/algonquin_kids.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Algonquian Indians</a> whose name was derived from mass-adchu-seuck or 'people from the big hill'.</span><br />

The words mean red island and was in reference to the red clay that was prominent and which surrounded the shoreline.</span><br />

When you think about the subject title above you probably think of <a href="http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=200" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">skyscrapers</a>, <a href="http://www.worldwaterfalldatabase.com/tallest-waterfalls/total-height/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">waterfalls</a>, <a href="http://topped10.blogspot.pt/2013/09/top-10-biggest-airplane-in-world.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">aeroplanes</a> and <a href="http://top10thebest.com/top-10-fastest-cars/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cars</a>. I don't like to be so obvious when making quizzes and spend a lot of time being creative, that's what keeps our customers coming back for more. It's much better to make your own quiz questions because it's more entertaining for the quiz teams. So in this article I'm going to give you some of my ideas for making a good quiz round which I call..<br />

To start this subject off we will take a look at Counties in the UK and States in the USA.<br />
I started with a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_counties" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">list of counties in the UK</a> and Wikipedia kindly provided me with all the<br />
statistics I could ever wish for. When we say biggest county we are normally talking about population, although area can also be used to get more quiz questions.<br />
<h3>
Top Ten Counties in the UK by population</h3>
1. <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/things-to-do/sightseeing/tourist-attraction/london-icons" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Greater London</a> 8,196,700 <br />
2. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham" rel="" target="_blank">West Midlands</a> 2,739,800 <br />
3. <a href="http://www.visitmanchester.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Greater Manchester</a> 2,685,400<br />
4. West Yorkshire 2,227,400<br />
5. Kent 1,466,500<br />
6. Essex 1,396,600<br />
7. Merseyside 1,380,800<br />
8. South Yorkshire 1,343,900 <br />
9. Hampshire 1,322,300 <br />
10. Lancashire 1,171,600<br />

<br />
There are a number of <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/pub-quiz-questions.htm" target="_blank">quiz questions</a> we can glean from this list.<br />
<br />
Which is the biggest county in the <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">UK</a>?<br />
What are the three biggest counties in the UK?<br />
What is the population of Greater London, to the nearest million?<br />
Put these counties in order of size from biggest to smallest, Essex, Kent and the West Midlands.<br />
Which has the biggest population, South Yorkshire or West Yorkshire?<br />
True or False, Greater London has more people living in it than the West Midlands, Manchester and West Yorkshire combined? <br />
6 different types of questions all about the same subject, and they are interesting questions that anyone can have a guess at answering!<br />
I could go on and on but you can see the way my mind works in creating questions from a list of statistics.<br />

When I come across questions like that I dig deeper to create my own. Let's take a look at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_population" target="_blank">list of U.S. states by population</a> and see what questions we can come up with.<br />
<br />
Which is the second most populated state in the USA?<br />
Which has the biggest population, New York or Texas?<br />
To the nearest million, what is the population of the state of New York?<br />
Put these U.S. states in order of size from most populated to least, Florida, New York and Texas.<br />
Does California have twice as many or three times as many people living in it than Florida?<br />
True or False, Michigan has more people living in it than Illinois?<br />

Monopoly Board Game</h2>
<br />
Greetings fellow quizzer. The worlds biggest selling board game and the worlds most popular board game by far which sells in over 100 countries and translated into 43 different languages is Monopoly.<br />
So why am I talking about <a href="http://www.hasbro.com/monopoly/en_US/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Monopoly</a> when I make quizzes for living? Easy, you can literally make hundreds of quiz questions if you study the game and the good thing is that everybody has played it.<br />
<br />
I make <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/" target="_blank">fun quizzes</a> for Pubs and Quiz Masters every week and questions like "how many bars are on the jail in Monopoly?" are fun and easy questions that the quiz teams just love to bits. So in this weeks article I'm going to give you some of my favourite <b>Monopoly Quiz Questions</b> and provide you with some extra knowledge so that you can create more of your own.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Monopoly Board</h3>

</tbody></table>
Just by studying the board you can get a plethora of questions to quiz your teams. Immediately by looking at the corners I can see that the FREE PARKING car is red, the policeman is blowing a whistle, there are three bars on the IN JAIL picture and the GO arrow is red. Here's some quiz questions I just grabbed from the board in 5 minutes. <br />
<h3>
Monopoly Questions </h3>
1. How many "Chance" squares are there on a Monopoly board?<br />
2. How many Community Chest squares are there on a Monopoly board?<br />
3. How many utility properties are there in Monopoly?<br />
4. In Monopoly, a picture of what is used for Super Tax?<br />
5. Can you name the four Monopoly train stations?<br />
6. What symbol is used for Chance in the board game of Monopoly?<br />
7. How many properties are there on a Monopoly board?<br />
8. On a Monopoly board, what colour is Pall Mall?<br />
<br />
Easy questions when you are looking at a picture of the board but not so easy when you are in a pub playing a quiz. There are many more quiz questions you can preen from the picture if you use your imagination.<br />
Let's move onto making more interesting questions by studying the history of Monopoly.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The History of Monopoly</h3>
The game has been on sale since 1935 in the US by the Parker Brothers and later in 1941 in the UK by Waddingtons. It was invented initially by an American woman named Elizabeth (Lizzie) J. Maggie Phillips back in 1903 who made it to teach people about the single tax theory of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_George" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Henry George</a>. Later <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darrow" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charles Darrow</a> took the idea and created what we now know as Monopoly although it had to go through many updates up to the 1970's before it became what we play today.<br />
<br />
Initially, Parker Brothers rejected the game as they said it had 3 major flaws which included the games lengthy game play and complexity. Note: I have seen a quiz question that states that the game had 52 fundamental errors, it is incorrect. When a number of department stores were placing large orders from Charles Darrow for the game the Parker Brothers got wind of it and changed their mind. They bought the copyright from Charles and within a year they were making 20,000 sets a week making Charles the worlds first millionaire game designer in history.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Interesting Facts about Monopoly</h3>
The longest ever game of Monopoly lasted for 70 days but other world records include 45 days underwater, 8 days on a balance beam, 11 days in a tree house, 16 days in a moving elevator and 36 hours upside down!<br />
<br />
The most expensive set ever made had a price tag of $2 million, the board was made of solid 23 carat gold and the dice were diamond studded.<br />
<br />
Jake the Jailbird is the name of the man in jail and the police officer's name is Edgar Mallory.<br />
<br />
More than 1 billion people have played the game since 1935.<br />
<br />
The name of the mascot, the man in the centre of the board, is <span class="st">Rich Uncle Pennybags.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">The game was used to smuggle escape plans into German POW camps during WWII and they even hid real money inside the games play money.</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st">The game has even featured on a US postage stamp.</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st">Tokens from the game have even been flown into space aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis!</span><br />

again most of my <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/brain-teasers-puzzles.htm" target="_blank">puzzles</a> are. I create these every week for<br />

worked out that the book should take me about 2 months to<br />
write and will include picture puzzles like the one below plus<br />
riddles, logic problems, math sequences, odd one out, anagrams,<br />
dingbats, pictograms, <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/catchphrase.htm" target="_blank">catchphrases</a> and a plethora of other fun<br />

And last but not least, the fun quiz round 4 to finish off with, the game show round.<br />
I currently have 3 different game show rounds in my pub quizzes which I alternate<br />
each week so the quizzes are unpredictable and exciting. In this blog I'm going to<br />
finish off with the most popular one which is <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/Family-Fortunes-quiz.htm" target="_blank">Family Fortunes</a>. <br />
<br />
<h3>
Family Fortunes</h3>
<br />
We asked 100 people to..<br />
<br />
1. Name the best place to go on a date<br />
<br />
2. Name the first thing you do when you get home<br />
<br />
3. Name a popular brand of toothpaste<br />

a dingbats picture handout or a Catchphrase picture handout halfway through the<br />

quiz blogs. In the mean time I found this very funny video of one of the original TV<br />
shows with Roy Walker who hosted the show first, enjoy.<br />

<br />
Bazinga!<br />
<br />
Danger, Will Robinson.<br />
<br />
They don't like it up 'em.<br />
<br />
Is it 'cause I is black?<br />
<br />
I pity the fool.<br />
<br />
Are you 'avin a laugh?<br />
<br />
He's dead, Jim<br />
<br />
You should have got nearly all of them.<br />
You probably remember the TV series but can you remember the characters name? Don't skip straight to the answers yet have a good think first, it will be more satisfying when you get them.<br />
<br />
OK<br />
<br />
Here are the answers..<br />
<br />
Bazinga! Was Sheldon Cooper's catchphrase from the award winning and hugely successful <a href="http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_bang_theory/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Big Bang Theory</a>. He used this phrase instead of gotcha! And most of his jokes were very unfunny, which made them funny. Superb.<br />
<br />
"Danger, Will Robinson" was the iconic words spoken by the robot (he didn't have an actual name) from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058824/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lost In Space</a>.<br />
<br />
"They don't like it up 'em", was one of Lance Corporal Jones's catchphrases from Dad's Army. Other famous catchphrases from Jones were, "Don't panic!" and "permission to speak sir."<br />
<br />
Is it 'cause I is black? Was one of many catchphrases from Ali G, the ironic thing is he wasn't black but he was a black rapper wannabe. Sacha Baron Cohen is the actor behind Ali G and the TV show was called "<a href="http://www.channel4.com/programmes/da-ali-g-show" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Da Ali G Show</a>" which went on to become a film called "Ali G in da house".<br />
<br />
"I pity the fool" is the line every celebrity impersonator quotes when doing a take off of Mr T from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_A-Team" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A Team</a>. Mr T you may remember had a fear of flying and all kinds of funny ways were thought up to get him on a plane against his will.<br />
<br />
"Are you 'avin a laugh? Is he having a laugh?" Is the catchphrase of a character of a character of the British sitcom Extras. The main characters name was Andy Millman who is a full time Extra for films and who's ambition is to be a famous actor. He got a screen play he wrote accepted by the BBC called "<a href="http://www.pilkipedia.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=When_The_Whistle_Blows" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">When the whistle blows</a>" and he played a factory manager by the name of Ray Stokes who wears a black curly wig and oversized glasses.<br />
<br />
And last but not least, "He's dead, Jim." <br />
One of the top 100 well known catchphrases of all time by the legenday Dr Leonard "Bones" McCoy from <a href="http://www.startrek.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Star Trek</a>.<br />
<br />
These catchphrases are taken from <a href="http://www.quizpub.co.uk/downloadable-quizzes.htm">Quiz Pack 96</a> from the Quiz Pub UK website.The Quiz Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12369703565354719951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486347225712246411.post-3378303696134746842013-03-28T08:07:00.000-07:002014-02-23T04:30:25.190-08:00CatchphraseDo you remember the brilliant game show called Catchphrase?<br />
<br />
It was hosted by a great Irish presenter called Roy Walker and for it's time the cash prizes were very big.<br />
<br />
I'm surprised it hasn't made a come back after all these years, but I can only imagine the work involved in creating all the animated pictures that went with each catchphrase.<br />
<br />
If you've never seen the show I'll explain.<br />
<br />
They took an everyday phrase like fish and chips then turned it into pictures and the contestants had to be the first on the buzzer to guess what phrase the picture represented.<br />
<br />
Roy Walker was always saying "say what you see!"<br />
<br />
I've made a few examples for you to have a go at yourselves, see if you can get them all correct.<br />
