The pub quiz is a well loved tradition in many places around this world. They allow people a chance to get together and throw in some friendly competition as well. If they involve a pub as well, we all know that they're more likely to get people there! However, we've always wondered how pub quizzes can show us about how our brains work. We're all good with different types of knowledge and talents, so can we tell what sort of mind someone has by how well they do or do not answer pub quiz questions?! We think that we can...
We have gathered up some general knowledge questions and answers to test people, to give them a little pub quiz, so that we can then tell them how their brain works. Depending on which answers people get right and which ones they get wrong, we will be able to determine exactly what's going on inside that head! Believe it or not, but we think that a lot of people are going to be surprised.
So, we think it's about time that people started to answer some pub quiz questions. Plus, we want to start telling people exactly how their brains works! Ready? Let's get started then!
