Evil Sid Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 make sure that they cannot see the glow from your ipad and make sure your mobile phone is on silent alert with your cleverest mates on speed dial Oh and if you can get hold of one make sure you have a small picture of a monopoly board there is nearly always one question about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Not been to many quizzes myself as I tend to struggle the minute TV, Geography or History comes up The ones I have been to always seem to have a photo sheet of actors etc in their earlier days and you have to name them.. I'm naff at that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Try and get a mixed age team, make sure you hold the team pen. You can't swot up for a quiz you either know it or not but cramming recent news could help. Remember the question master is always right even when wrong, it saves embarrassment for all concerned.

asperity Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Remember the question master is always right even when wrong. You're not wrong there Eagle, I've come across some real howlers, but they always refuse to accept they might have made a mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry hayes Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 When they ask about a prime minister, the answer 50% of the time is Harold Wilson. When they ask for a country in Africa, it's even money again that the answer is Egypt. Too late to swot up on knowledge - there's too much of it. Instead find a few clever responses to cover your apparent ignorance and to be thought of as a witty fellow. happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 One other idea is to write "I don't know" for every answer that you genuinely don't know. That way you have answered the question correctly and as a right answer should be awarded a point. If challenged you can always say that you did not know until they told you the answer. might not make you popular with the rest of the team or the quizmaster though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Another tip if sheets are handed to another team for marking, be generous with your marking in the first round, they will return the compliment for the rest of the night. Remember you don't get any points for a blank space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry hayes Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 And if they ask what does the French expression "je ne sais pas" mean, you're nearly there. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Just learn each and every thing Geoff. During questioning don't be confuse.Simply memorize all things that you already had learnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I know this maybe a bit late but it is a pub quiz and not a question time one isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
