Customer Reviews

Exactly the kind of trivia book I was looking for

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the question and answers in this book. The author says it accurately at the start of the book: "Quizzing is not about the bland recollection of facts....Rather quizzing is about building an extensive knowledge base and using that to work out the answer to the questions. The questions themselves should be interesting and thought provoking". I found the book to be exactly that. I am looking out for more books of this type.

Comprehensive and exciting

This book has questions and answers that cover every conceivable topic. Be prepared for a surprise if you thought nothing interesting existed in the world of mathematics, for instance. My family enjoyed it immensely.

Simply the best

The author has created what must certainly be the best quiz book in the market. If you want to know why women were not permitted to watch the ancient Olympics, or the method employed by a Carthusian monk to find out how fast electricity traveled, then all you have to do is read this book.

Wonderful and charming!

A must-have for anyone who sneaks a peek at "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" or "Jeopardy". This book shows what quiz questions should be like - ones that have answers that simply amaze you.
