A strawberry isn’t a berry, but a banana is. You’ve probably heard that one before. It’s the gateway drug of fun trivia facts, the one that makes people lean in and say wait, what else is like that? And it turns out: almost everything. The world is full of facts that feel wrong until you look them up, and then they feel even more wrong. I’ve been collecting these for years, testing them in rooms where people bet drinks on their confidence. The questions below are the survivors. They earned their spot by doing something specific to a room full of people who thought they knew better.
The Ones That Make You Say “No Way”
1. What common household object was originally sold as a wallpaper cleaner before children started playing with it?
Every single time I ask this, someone shouts “bubble wrap.” They’re thinking of the wrong kind of accidental toy. The real answer is softer, squishier, and you’ve probably bought it for a kid in the last year.
Show Answer
Play-Doh. Kutol Products made it to clean coal residue off wallpaper in the 1930s. When natural gas replaced coal in homes, the product lost its market , until a nursery school teacher noticed kids loved shaping it. The most common wrong answer is silly putty, which has its own weird origin story involving World War II and failed synthetic rubber.
2. How long is one day on Venus compared to one year on Venus?
This is one of those fun trivia facts that genuinely breaks people’s brains when they hear it. I’ve watched a physics teacher refuse to accept it.
Show Answer
A day on Venus (one full rotation on its axis) is longer than its year (one orbit around the Sun). A Venusian day takes about 243 Earth days; its year is about 225 Earth days. And it rotates backward. Venus does not care about your expectations.
3. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?
I put this one early because it’s a gift. It lets people feel good before I start taking things away from them.
Show Answer
Strawberry. Those little dots aren’t just seeds, technically , each one is an individual fruit called an achene, and the red fleshy part is actually the swollen receptacle of the flower. So a strawberry is essentially a platform for hundreds of tiny fruits. You’ll never eat one the same way again.
4. In what country can you find a lake that turns animals to stone?
This sounds like a myth someone invented after too many drinks. It’s not.
Show Answer
Tanzania. Lake Natron has such high alkalinity (pH above 10.5) that animals that die in it become calcified, preserved in eerie, statue-like poses. Photographer Nick Brandt captured images of these calcified birds and bats that look like they were deliberately posed. They weren’t.
5. What percentage of the Earth’s water is freshwater: roughly 3%, 15%, or 30%?
The multiple choice here is a trap, because all three numbers feel plausible depending on what you remember from school.
Show Answer
About 3%. And most of that is locked in ice caps and glaciers. Less than 1% of all water on Earth is accessible freshwater. People almost always guess too high on this one. We live on a water planet and most of it would kill us to drink.
6. What animal can’t physically vomit?
There are actually a few correct answers to this one, but the one people get right most often is the one I’m looking for.
Show Answer
Horses. Their cardiac sphincter is so strong that it only allows one-way movement of food. Rats and rabbits also can’t vomit, which is why rat poison works the way it does. But horses are the answer that lands in a room, because people who ride horses already knew this and get to feel briefly superior.
7. What was the first toy advertised on television?
People’s guesses on this one reveal their age. Boomers say Slinky. Millennials say Barbie. Everyone’s close but not quite there.
Show Answer
Mr. Potato Head, in 1952. It was the first toy advertised directly to children on TV, and it originally required a real potato , the plastic body didn’t come until 1964. Hasbro knew exactly what they were doing, and American parenting has never recovered.
Your Body Is Weirder Than You Think
8. How many times does the average human heart beat in a single day?
Give yourself a range of 10,000 on either side. Most people still miss it.
Show Answer
About 100,000 times per day. That’s roughly 35 million beats a year and about 2.5 billion in a lifetime. Most people guess somewhere around 10,000 to 50,000. Your heart is working considerably harder than you give it credit for.
9. What is the only body part that is fully grown at birth?
This one creates arguments. Good ones. Someone always says “brain” with absolute certainty and then has to sit with their wrongness for a while.
Show Answer
The eyes. Your eyes are approximately the same size from birth to death. Everything else grows, but your eyes just sit there, fully formed, watching the rest of you catch up. The most common wrong answer is the brain, which is actually only about 25% of its adult size at birth.
10. How many taste buds does the average human tongue have: about 2,000, about 10,000, or about 50,000?
The real number is satisfyingly in the middle. Not as few as you’d guess, not as many as you’d hope.
Show Answer
About 10,000. They regenerate every two weeks, which is why a burned tongue recovers so quickly. By the time you’re older, you have closer to 5,000 , which is why your grandparents put so much salt on everything.
11. What is the strongest muscle in the human body, relative to its size?
There’s a common misconception that floats around the internet about this one. The tongue is not a single muscle, so it doesn’t count.
Show Answer
The masseter (jaw muscle). It can close the teeth with a force of up to 200 pounds on the molars. People who clench their teeth at night are essentially doing reps with the strongest muscle in their body while they sleep.
12. Approximately how many bacteria are living in and on your body right now?
The old “ten times more bacteria than human cells” stat got debunked, but the real number is still unsettling.
Show Answer
Roughly 38 trillion, which is about a 1:1 ratio with your human cells. The old claim of 10:1 was based on a back-of-the-envelope estimate from 1972 that everyone just kept repeating. The truth is less dramatic but still means about half of “you” isn’t technically you.
13. What color does human blood appear in a completely oxygen-free environment?
I’ve had people nearly flip a table over this one. Everyone “knows” the answer. Most of them are wrong.
Show Answer
Dark red. Never blue. Deoxygenated blood is dark red, not blue. Your veins look blue through your skin because of how light penetrates tissue and gets absorbed at different wavelengths. The “blue blood” thing is one of the most persistent myths in casual science, and I’ve watched friendships strain over it.
Animals That Don’t Play by the Rules
14. How long can a snail sleep without waking up?
The answer to this one makes every overworked person in the room briefly consider reincarnation preferences.
Show Answer
Up to three years. When conditions aren’t favorable (too dry, too cold), some species of snails can enter a state of hibernation that lasts that long. They seal themselves inside their shells with a layer of mucus that hardens into a protective door. Three years of uninterrupted sleep behind a door made of snot.
15. What animal has three hearts?
This is a classic bit of fun trivia facts territory, but I include it because the follow-up detail is what makes it worth knowing.
Show Answer
The octopus. Two branchial hearts pump blood to the gills, and one systemic heart pumps it to the rest of the body. The systemic heart actually stops beating when the octopus swims, which is why they prefer crawling. Swimming literally exhausts their central heart.
16. What is the only mammal that can truly fly?
If someone says “flying squirrel,” you get to enjoy a very specific kind of silence in the room.
Show Answer
Bats. Flying squirrels glide. Sugar gliders glide. Colugos glide impressively far. But bats are the only mammals with powered, sustained flight. They account for about 20% of all classified mammal species, making them the second largest order of mammals after rodents.
17. A group of flamingos is called what?
The English language really outdid itself with collective nouns for animals. This one is perfect.
Show Answer
A flamboyance. A flamboyance of flamingos. Other contenders for best collective noun: a parliament of owls, a murder of crows, and a conspiracy of lemurs. But flamboyance wins because it’s not trying to be clever. It’s just accurate.
18. How far can a flea jump relative to its body size?
I usually frame this as “if a flea were human-sized, how far could it jump?” It makes the answer land harder.
Show Answer
A flea can jump up to 150 times its own body length. Scaled up to human proportions, that’s roughly the length of a football field in a single bound. They don’t use muscles for this , they use a biological spring mechanism made of a protein called resilin, which is the most efficient elastic material known to science.
19. What animal produces the loudest sound of any living creature?
People always go big. They think about size. The answer rewards a different kind of thinking.
Show Answer
The sperm whale, at up to 230 decibels. That’s louder than a jet engine. Their clicks can theoretically vibrate a human body to death at close range. Blue whales are louder in terms of low-frequency calls that travel farther, but the raw decibel crown goes to the sperm whale.
20. What percentage of a cat’s life is spent sleeping?
Cat owners always guess high on this one. They’re still not high enough.
Show Answer
About 70%. Cats sleep 13 to 16 hours a day on average. A nine-year-old cat has been awake for only about three years of its life. This is not laziness , it’s an energy conservation strategy inherited from their wild ancestors, who needed explosive bursts of energy for hunting.
History’s Footnotes Are Better Than Its Headlines
21. Oxford University is older than what empire?
This is the fun trivia fact that I’ve seen genuinely change how someone thinks about time. It lands differently every time.
Show Answer
The Aztec Empire. Teaching at Oxford began around 1096. The Aztec civilization didn’t found Tenochtitlán until 1325. Oxford was already 200 years old when the Aztecs were just getting started. This fact makes people physically recoil.
22. What was the shortest war in recorded history, and how long did it last?
People guess hours. They’re not thinking small enough.
Show Answer
The Anglo-Zanzibar War of 1896, which lasted between 38 and 45 minutes. Britain issued an ultimatum. Zanzibar didn’t comply. The British opened fire. The sultan’s palace was shelled, his one ship was sunk, and it was over before lunch. Roughly 500 Zanzibari casualties to one injured British sailor.
23. Cleopatra lived closer in time to the Moon landing or to the construction of the Great Pyramid?
This is the question that teaches people they don’t understand how old Egypt actually is.
Show Answer
The Moon landing. Cleopatra lived around 30 BC. The Great Pyramid was completed around 2560 BC , over 2,500 years before her. The Moon landing was only about 2,000 years after her. She’s closer to smartphones than to the pyramids. Ancient Egypt lasted so absurdly long that even ancient Egyptians had ancient history.
24. What everyday item did ancient Romans use as mouthwash?
I love watching faces when this answer drops. There’s a specific kind of horror that only historical hygiene facts can produce.
Show Answer
Urine. Specifically, they imported Portuguese urine because it was considered the strongest. The ammonia in urine does actually work as a cleaning agent, and it was used in laundry as well. Roman poet Catullus mocked a man for having suspiciously white teeth, implying he’d been rinsing enthusiastically.
25. Nintendo was founded in what year: 1889, 1949, or 1975?
The right answer is always the one that feels most ridiculous. That’s a good general rule for fun trivia facts.
Show Answer
1889. Nintendo started as a playing card company in Kyoto, Japan. They made handmade hanafuda cards. Before they made Mario, they tried taxi services, love hotels, and instant rice. The company that brought you the Switch survived two world wars and an identity crisis that lasted a century.
26. How many years did it take to deliver the last telegram in the world, and what country sent it?
People don’t even know telegrams were still being sent recently enough to have a “last” one.
Show Answer
India’s state-owned telecom company BSNL sent the world’s last telegram in July 2013. The telegram service had been running for 163 years. At its peak, India’s system handled 60 million telegrams a year. By the end, it was losing $23 million annually. The final messages were mostly government bureaucracy and a few sentimental stragglers.
27. What did the first vending machine in history dispense, and in what era was it invented?
People guess cigarettes or candy. The real answer is about 2,000 years earlier than they’re imagining.
Show Answer
Holy water, in first-century Roman Egypt. The mathematician Hero of Alexandria designed a machine that dispensed a fixed amount of holy water when a coin was inserted. The coin landed on a pan attached to a lever, which opened a valve. When the coin slid off, the valve closed. Vending machines predate Christianity as we know it.
Numbers That Don’t Behave
28. How many possible iterations of a shuffled deck of 52 cards exist?
The number is so large that any analogy I give you will still fail to capture it. But I’ll try.
Show Answer
52 factorial, which is approximately 8 × 10^67. That’s an 8 followed by 67 zeros. Every time you properly shuffle a deck, you are almost certainly holding an arrangement that has never existed before in the history of the universe and never will again. There are more possible deck arrangements than there are atoms on Earth.
29. What is the fear of the number 13 called?
The word itself is almost harder to deal with than the phobia.
Show Answer
Triskaidekaphobia. And the fear of Friday the 13th specifically has its own word: paraskevidekatriaphobia. More than 80% of high-rise buildings skip the 13th floor in their elevator panels. The phobia is so widespread that it costs the U.S. economy an estimated $800-900 million annually in absenteeism and reduced commerce on Friday the 13ths.
30. If you fold a piece of paper in half 42 times, how far would it reach?
I’ve asked this to engineers who got it wrong. The exponential growth here is genuinely hard for human brains to process.
Show Answer
To the Moon. Each fold doubles the thickness. After 42 folds, a standard sheet of paper (0.1mm thick) would be approximately 440,000 kilometers thick , enough to reach the Moon, which is about 384,400 km away. You can’t actually fold a standard piece of paper more than about 7 times, which is probably for the best.
31. What number does not have the letter ‘A’ in its English spelling until you reach it?
People start counting in their heads. You can see their lips moving. They never get far enough.
Show Answer
One thousand. You can count from one to nine hundred ninety-nine without using the letter A. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten… all the way through nine hundred ninety-nine. Not a single A. Then: one thousand. I’ve watched people silently mouth numbers for a solid thirty seconds before trusting this one.
32. What percentage of the world’s total currency exists as physical cash?
This one makes people uneasy, and I think that’s appropriate.
Show Answer
Less than 10%. Over 90% of the world’s money exists only as digital entries in bank computers. The vast majority of “money” is just numbers agreed upon between institutions. If everyone tried to withdraw their savings simultaneously, the physical cash to cover it simply doesn’t exist.
Food Isn’t What You Think It Is
33. What popular “nut” is technically a legume?
Most people get this one, which is fine. It’s here to set up the next few questions where food categories fall apart entirely.
Show Answer
Peanuts. They grow underground in pods, like beans and lentils. They’re more closely related to chickpeas than to almonds. Almonds, by the way, are technically seeds. Cashews grow on the bottom of a fruit. Basically nothing in the nut aisle is actually a nut.
34. What fruit is a member of the rose family?
There are actually many correct answers to this, which is part of the fun.
Show Answer
Apples, pears, cherries, peaches, plums, strawberries, and raspberries are all members of the Rosaceae family. The rose family is basically running the fruit industry. If you’ve eaten any fruit today, there’s a solid chance it was a distant cousin of the flower you’d buy for Valentine’s Day.
35. How many years can honey last without spoiling?
People know honey lasts a long time. They don’t know how long “a long time” actually means here.
Show Answer
Indefinitely. Archaeologists have found 3,000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs that was still perfectly edible. Honey’s low moisture content, high acidity, and natural hydrogen peroxide production make it essentially immortal. It might crystallize, but crystallized honey isn’t spoiled , just warm it up.
36. What is the most stolen food in the world?
This one always gets a laugh, because the answer is so specific and so relatable at the same time.
Show Answer
Cheese. About 4% of all cheese produced globally is stolen. There’s even a black market for high-end cheese. In 2016, a Wisconsin man was arrested for stealing $160,000 worth of Muenster. The crime has a name in the industry: “cheese shrinkage.” The fact that cheese needs its own theft euphemism tells you everything.
37. What common condiment was once sold as medicine?
The 1800s were a wild time for medicine. Basically anything in a bottle could be marketed as a cure.
Show Answer
Ketchup. In the 1830s, Dr. John Cook Bennett sold concentrated tomato extract in pill form as a cure for diarrhea, indigestion, and rheumatism. Tomato ketchup pills were a legitimate pharmaceutical product for about a decade before people moved on to the next miracle cure. Now we just put it on fries, which might be its own kind of medicine.
38. What country consumes the most coffee per capita?
Americans always guess America. Italians always guess Italy. They’re both wrong, and they’re wrong in the same direction.
Show Answer
Finland. Finns consume roughly 12 kilograms of coffee per person per year, nearly double what Americans drink. The other Nordic countries round out the top five. In Finland, workers are legally entitled to coffee breaks. It’s not a habit there. It’s infrastructure.
The Planet Is Trying to Tell You Something
39. What is the driest place on Earth?
Everyone says the Sahara. The actual answer is somewhere much colder and much stranger.
Show Answer
The McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica. Parts of this region haven’t seen rain or snow in nearly 2 million years. The air is so dry and the winds so strong that any moisture evaporates or sublimates before it can accumulate. Antarctica is technically a desert. The driest place on Earth is covered in ice everywhere except where it’s not, and where it’s not is drier than anywhere else.
40. There are more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way: true or false?
This one splits rooms right down the middle. Both sides are confident. One side is wrong.
Show Answer
True. There are roughly 3 trillion trees on Earth and an estimated 100 to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way. We have about 7 to 30 times more trees than the galaxy has stars. This fact does not compute for most people, and I’ve learned to just let the silence sit for a moment after I say it.
41. What percentage of the Earth’s ocean floor has been explored and mapped in detail?
We’ve mapped more of Mars than this.
Show Answer
About 5% has been explored in detail, though recent satellite-based mapping has covered the broader topography. We have better maps of the Moon and Mars than we do of our own ocean floor. There are mountain ranges down there that we’ve never seen. The deepest parts of the ocean have had fewer human visitors than the surface of the Moon.
42. What country has the most islands in the world?
Indonesia is the most popular wrong answer. Reasonable guess. Wrong continent.
Show Answer
Sweden, with 267,570 islands. Norway is second. Indonesia, despite being an archipelago nation, comes in at a distant third. Sweden’s coastline is so fractured and complex that many of its islands don’t even have names. Indonesia has the most inhabited islands, which is probably where the confusion starts.
43. What natural phenomenon is hotter than the surface of the Sun?
The answer is something most people have seen from their window.
Show Answer
Lightning. A bolt of lightning can reach temperatures of about 30,000 Kelvin (roughly 53,540°F), which is roughly five times hotter than the surface of the Sun (about 5,778 Kelvin). The Sun’s core is much hotter, but the surface? Lightning has it beat. The crack of thunder you hear is literally the sound of air being superheated beyond what physics is comfortable with.
Language Does Whatever It Wants
44. What word in the English language is most often spelled incorrectly?
The question itself contains a hint, and I love watching people not see it.
Show Answer
“Incorrectly.” It’s always spelled incorrectly because that’s how you spell it , i-n-c-o-r-r-e-c-t-l-y. This is a trick question, and I’m not sorry. In trivia, the occasional trick question serves a purpose: it reminds everyone to listen to what’s actually being asked, not what they assume is being asked.
45. What is the dot over a lowercase ‘i’ or ‘j’ called?
You’ve seen this dot every day of your literate life and never once needed to name it. Until now.
Show Answer
A tittle. The phrase “to a T” may actually derive from “to a tittle,” meaning with precise attention to every small detail. You now know a word you’ll probably never use but will absolutely remember at 2 AM some random Tuesday.
46. What is the longest word in the English language that uses no repeated letters?
People start trying to build long words in their heads. They always hit a repeated letter around the eighth letter and give up.
Show Answer
“Subdermatoglyphic” (17 letters), referring to the underlying patterns of skin ridges that produce fingerprints. Some dictionaries dispute whether it’s a “real” word versus a technical compound, in which case “uncopyrightable” (15 letters) is the commonly accepted answer. Either way, no repeated letters. Try to beat either one. You won’t.
47. What common English word changes pronunciation when its first letter is capitalized?
This is a sneaky little puzzle disguised as a trivia question. People who get it feel like they’ve unlocked something.
Show Answer
“Polish” and “polish.” Capital P gives you the nationality (POH-lish). Lowercase p gives you what you do to shoes (PAH-lish). English is the only language petty enough to pull this kind of thing.
48. What word is spelled the same in English, French, German, Swedish, Portuguese, and Dutch?
There are a few, but the most common one is something you interact with regularly.
Show Answer
“Taxi.” It’s one of the most universally borrowed words in the world, derived from “taximeter,” which itself comes from the Latin “taxa” (charge) and the Greek “metron” (measure). Some words are so useful that every language just agrees to keep them.
The Ones That Start Arguments
49. Which came first: the lighter or the match?
Almost no one gets this right. It violates the logical order people assume technology follows.
Show Answer
The lighter. Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner invented the first lighter in 1823. Friction matches weren’t invented until 1826 by John Walker. The lighter predates the match by three years. People assume simpler technology comes first, but history doesn’t work that way. The can opener was invented 48 years after the can, too.
50. How many muscles does a cat have in each ear?
People guess low. Way too low.
Show Answer
32 muscles in each ear, allowing them to rotate their ears 180 degrees. Humans have 6 ear muscles, most of which we can’t consciously control. A cat’s ears are essentially satellite dishes made of muscle, independently tracking sounds from different directions. It’s why they always look like they’re judging you , they’re literally listening to everything you do.
51. What are the only two U.S. states whose names can be typed using a single row of a standard keyboard?
People start air-typing immediately. It’s one of the most physically engaging trivia questions I know.
Show Answer
Alaska (middle row: ASDFGHJKL) and Ohio (top row: QWERTYUIOP). Wait , Alaska uses A, L, S, K from the middle row. Actually, the commonly cited answer is Alaska and Ohio, but this one generates debate about keyboard layouts and letter placement that can last an embarrassingly long time. That’s the point.
52. In what year were women first allowed to run in the Boston Marathon?
People guess earlier than the real answer. They want it to be earlier. It isn’t.
Show Answer
1972. Kathrine Switzer famously ran it unofficially in 1967, when a race official tried to physically remove her from the course. But the race didn’t officially allow women to enter until 1972. The first women’s Olympic marathon wasn’t until 1984. These dates always land harder than people expect them to.
53. What household item kills more people per year than sharks?
There are many correct answers to this, which is really the point. Sharks are terrible at killing people.
Show Answer
Vending machines. Vending machines kill an estimated 2-4 people per year (usually from tipping). Sharks kill about 5-10 people per year worldwide. Coconuts, cows, ants, and champagne corks all kill more people annually than sharks. Sharks have the worst PR team in the animal kingdom.
54. What is the national animal of Scotland?
I save this one for moments when a room needs to laugh. The answer is perfect.
Show Answer
The unicorn. Scotland’s national animal is the unicorn. It has been a Scottish heraldic symbol since the 12th century. In Celtic mythology, the unicorn represented purity, innocence, and power. Scotland chose a mythical creature as its national animal and committed to it for 800 years. Respect.
Space Doesn’t Care About Your Intuition
55. What planet rains diamonds?
The answer sounds like something from a science fiction novel written by someone who doesn’t understand science. But the science checks out.
Show Answer
Both Neptune and Uranus. The extreme pressure and temperature in their atmospheres can split methane molecules apart, compressing the carbon into diamonds that fall like rain toward the planets’ cores. Scientists have replicated this process in labs. Somewhere right now, it is raining diamonds on two planets, and no one can get to them.
56. How long does it take for sunlight to reach Earth?
People who know it’s about 8 minutes feel confident. People who know the full story feel something else entirely.
Show Answer
About 8 minutes and 20 seconds from the Sun’s surface. But the photons that make up that light were generated in the Sun’s core, and it takes them an estimated 10,000 to 170,000 years to fight their way to the surface through the dense solar interior. The light hitting your face right now started its journey before humans invented agriculture.
57. If you could drive a car straight up at highway speed, how long would it take to reach space?
The answer makes space feel closer than it has any right to feel.
Show Answer
About one hour. The Kármán line, the internationally recognized boundary of space, is 100 kilometers (62 miles) above sea level. At 60 mph, you’d be there in just over an hour. Space is close. It’s the getting there at that speed in the right direction that’s the problem.
58. What is the coldest temperature ever recorded in the universe?
It’s not in space. It’s somewhere much more surprising.
Show Answer
In a laboratory on Earth. Scientists at MIT cooled sodium gas to half a billionth of a degree above absolute zero, which is colder than anything naturally occurring in space. The coldest natural temperature in the universe is the Boomerang Nebula at about 1 Kelvin. We made something colder in a lab in Massachusetts. Humans can be deeply impressive when properly motivated.
The Last Two Seats at the Bar
59. How much of the universe is made up of ordinary matter , the stuff you can see, touch, and measure?
This one is a setup for the last question. It puts people in the right headspace.
Show Answer
About 5%. The rest is roughly 27% dark matter and 68% dark energy, neither of which we can directly observe or fully explain. Everything you’ve ever seen, touched, loved, or built , every star, every planet, every person , accounts for about 5% of what’s actually out there. The universe is mostly made of things we haven’t figured out yet.
60. What is the total length of all the DNA in a single human body, if you could uncoil it and lay it end to end?
This is the question I close with because the answer does something that the best fun trivia facts always do: it makes you feel the gap between what you assumed about yourself and what’s actually true. People guess feet. They guess miles. They’re never ready.
Show Answer
About 10 billion miles , enough to stretch from Earth to Pluto and back. Every cell in your body contains roughly 6 feet of DNA, and you have about 37 trillion cells. Multiply those together and you get a number so large it stops meaning anything until you realize: you are carrying a thread inside you that could reach the edge of the solar system. You’re sitting in a chair, reading trivia questions, and you contain a distance that light itself needs hours to cross. The most staggering fun trivia facts aren’t the ones about the world out there. They’re the ones about whatever you are.
My 8 years running trivia nights in Oslo, Norway have taught me more about writing good questions than any training could. The room tells you everything. I write based on what works in front of real people, not what looks clever on paper. My question packs have featured on Buzzfeed Quizzes, and I take the same care with every set I write.
