geography
history
sport
nature
science
astronomy
astrology
current affairs
film
art
flags of the world
famous people
famous landmarks
Each team will attempt their team round which consists of a science question and four general knowledge questions. The answer to each question must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team gets to try the rest of the round.
After the team round is the individual round. A maximum of thirty questions answered on a first-hand-up basis accruing points for the team. This second round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all thirty questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 30 and 50 minutes.
