Forty Questions Quiz

A monthly general knowledge quiz.

This is what happens:
1. The host welcomes everyone and runs through the Quiz rules and then mutes everyone;
2. The host reads the questions leaving around a couple of minutes or so for the competitors to answer each one;
3. After a short break the host reads out the answers and the competitors mark their papers, unmuting themselves with any queries they may have;
4. Competitors total up their score and send it to everyone via the chat facility on zoom;
5. The competitor with the highest score wins - in case of a tie the host will ask a tie breaker question.

Attendees will need paper and pen to write down their answers.

Obviously attendees are duty bound not to cheat e.g. by looking up the answers on Google or by miscounting their points etc, but if you wish you might want to bring a friend or partner to assist you - but again they must not cheat either!
The host will ask attendees to send in questions - with the answers of course - including pictures where appropriate if they wish them to be included in future quizzes.
