    I'm alright at quizzes. General knowledge, pop culture, weird things. Geography and sport are black holes of mystery though.

    Love quizzes. I've an eidetic memory so i've a bit of an unfair advantage as i retain the most useless shíte in my head. I love reading trivia and useless fact books too so that helps. I'm hopeless when it comes to anything to do with music or most pop culture. General knowledge and films would be my strong points. Haven't took part in a quiz in a good while though.

    If the quiz question is "Can you shart out a bit of English on a forum?" then you get top marks.

    If there is a quiz section on pointless 80s pop music trivia, I'm your man. To a frightening, near-olympic standard degree.

    It's kinda funny how general knowledge (and learning in general) used to have a bit of value. But since the advent of mobile phone technology most people are happy to know nothing first hand and consult the net when they need an answer for something.

    People used to run to the toilets and ring their mates with mobiles, too. I was in Macnhester adn they had a sign for a quiz thing that was app based. You turn up with your mobile, sign in, and the questions have to be picked from the multiple choice, as far as I could see. Seemed like an interesting way of doing things.

    A lot of well ran quizzes now put zip lock bags on the tables and every participant has to put their phone in the bag. and the bag is left on the table.

    People who use smart phones at quizzes are a lower form of intellect than mongs who know nothing.
