Introduction
Welcome to The Alphabetical General Knowledge Quiz Book 3.
As with Books 1 and 2 all the answers are in strictly alphabetical order from Beginning to End. However it is becoming difficult with some letters to produce previously unused questions. This is especially true of the letter “x” and therefore I have had to use “ex” as the start of this section. Please remember that, as before, the following rules apply to the answers...
Surnames are always first unless the answer is a title of a film, book, TV programme, song etc. e.g. What role did Daniel Radcliffe play in J. K. Rowling’s wizardry films = Potter Harry, but What was the title of the second Harry Potter movie = Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
...and unless the question actually states (first name)
“the” “a” and “an” are not included at the beginning of an answers e.g. (The) Who is in the “W” section
All answers are completely alphabetical e.g.
What kind of apes live on the Rock of Gibraltar?
Barbary Apes
Barbara Millicent Roberts is better known by what name?
Barbie
What was the name of the last bank for which Nick Leeson worked?
Barings
What is the confirmation ceremony for a Jewish Boy called?
Bar Mitzvah
I, personally, use these quizzes as a handout. Giving a question sheet (using an Excel file - boxes etc) to every member of the teams and give them a set time to finish off the questions (about 15-20 minutes possibly during a break in the proceedings)
HAPPY QUIZZING!
Ted Smith
