Quiz group – November/December 2025
The quizzers grappled with the usual 6 themes each time and another mixed bag they were.
In the first group meeting we unpacked the subjects of Johns, Games, General Knowledge, It’s colourful, Elvis and Mountains.
There were some good scores and the gold medal went to the Elvis round. In fact one of the group is a real Elvis fan as she gained maximum points and hopes to visit Graceland one day. Bottom of the score board was Games.
So:
- Who killed John Lennon?
- What is the nickname for the ball on a roulette table?
- Which four English counties have a land border with Wales?
- What colour jersey is given to the best young rider in the Tour de France race?
- In what 1964 film did Elvis play the role of ‘Lucky Jackson’?
- What is the tallest mountain in Africa?
Two weeks rest and we were back zooming, ready to answer questions on Your five a day, Letters and numbers, Give me an H, General Knowledge, Bodies of water and Siblings.
Which would have been your chosen round to play your joker in?
The quizzers obviously knew their onions as the ‘five a day’ galloped into the number one spot. This was helped along by a 10/10 score. The weakest link was General Knowledge.
Will you get five out of five correct answers? Let’s see:
- What is the world’s most popular vegetable?
- Which two books of Stephen King have titles beginning with the letter M?
- Who is the girlfriend of the joker in Batman?
- What does the RR in JRR Tolkein’s name stand for?
- Which Scottish inland lock is the longest?
- Name the three Gabor sisters?
We will be able to hold two quizzes in December; on Mondays the 1st and 15th.
