Questions will start hitting your inboxes shortly. We have 16 entrants -
NOTHING, AARON JENNINGS, LEG END REJECT, NEOWISE, DEJABOO, KOL, IRISH ARIS, QUICKBEAM, DUFFMAN13, CDEB, SHANEU, ZAPH, EDSER, GREENANDRED, E.N.,
DECLAN A. WALSH, and you have all been allocated a specialist subject from one of the 3 you sent to me.
There is to be no googling, fact checking, book reading, Alexa asking etc etc etc. This is a little test of your actual human memory banks and MOST IMPORTANTLY it's meant to be a bit of fun.
You will all get:
10 specialist subject questions,
10 randomly selected general knowledge questions - some of which were even chosen from all of the proposed but unused specialist subjects -
and 5 'tiebreaker' questions which will only come into play in the event of a tie.
Questions have been sourced from 'mostly' reputable sources and like all quizzes some are easier than others. Although as I always say every question is easy if you know the answer!
With regard to the specialist subjects in particular there are some niche topics that I have no knowledge of whatsoever so the questions might be really, really, really, simple or they might be so hard that even University Challenge wouldnt use them! You will just have to take your chances and guess now and again I suppose.
The reveal will be organised some time after I get everyones answers back so please send them on as soon as you can. I am still working on the reveal anyway so there is no mad panic.*
*Says he anxiously awaiting everyones answers and the questions havent even gone out yet!
