◆More than 22，000 pubs（酒馆） have a weekly quiz（智力测试） night.Some people say that the success of modern﹣day pub quizzes is caused by a board game from the 1980s，called Trivial Pursuit.In the game players had to answer questions about unimportant details.But whatever the reason，pub owners now say they hold quiz nights because quizzers drink like fish，so it is good business for them. |
◆In the quiz，the quiz master reads questions out loud and people answer questions in teams.A lot of the time，people choose funny names for their teams.There are normally several rounds，and a quiz can go on for 2 to 3 hours!Each round can be about a different topic，or questions can be mixed.Topics can be about nature，culture，life，health，food，science，sports，music and more. |
◆Many pubs have old names referring to monarchs（君主），such as The King's Head or The Queen Victoria，but of course this doesn't mean they are only for kings or queens.Pubs have always welcomed people from all classes and parts of society.In some pubs you can get drinks on the house，meaning they are free.If you've paid to be in the quiz，there is usually a surprising prize. |
◆More than half of the people in a recent survey on the Internet answered these questions incorrectly：How many countries make up Great Britain？What is the world's largest desert？ Study!Make sure you know the names of the winners of sporting events，Oscars and TV shows.Also there is need to have a look at the world map.Besides studying，it's very important to choose your team wisely.Try to have a mix of men and women，and no more than five people.Don't choose someone who is always completely sure that they're right，in fact sometimes they're wrong!Once you've got your team together，always trust your first answer，and don't think about it too much.Make sure that not everyone in your team drinks too much，otherwise the last round is going to get really difficult！ |
