Pub Quiz TRICK Questions
13 Answers
I am writing a pub quiz and am after some ideas - one of the categories will be entitled: Things you really ought to know - question like "What did the Tin Man want from the Wizard" - I am after some similar questions.
A separate category is "things you think you know" and could be questions like: "what man made object is visible from space" - answer none - the Great Wall of China is not visible - but something a bit more challenging.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

Which is the only flag that is neither square nor rectangular?
Nepal
How many wives did Henry VIII have?
2
Because of the technicalities of annulment (declaring a marriage null and void as opposed to ending a legal marriage in the case of divorce), it can be argued that 4 of them (Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Anne of Cleves and Catherine Howard) were never his wives because by declaring the marriage null, the marriages never existed. This one was on QI once.
