Are you ready for a midweek brain teaser? Our popular Tuesday quiz is back to test your knowledge across a cacophony of topics, from naval history and children's television to football and science.
A Mix of Historical and Cultural Questions
The latest set of questions probes a wide range of general knowledge. It asks participants to identify the battle where Admiral Horatio Nelson famously put a telescope to his blind eye and declared, "I see no ships." Another question delves into classic children's programming, asking which series featured the wooden woodpecker Professor Yaffle.
Sports fans are challenged to name the English football team that calls Anfield home, while science buffs must recall the type of acid found in the human stomach. The quiz also touches on music history, asking who wrote "Mr. Tambourine Man", a hit for The Byrds in 1965.
Remembering TV Classics and World Facts
Further questions test memory of British sitcoms, national symbols, and historical figures. Participants are asked about the character played by the late actor Rodney Bewes in the 1960s sitcom The Likely Lads and its sequel. The quiz also covers the three colours on the flag of Jamaica and the identity of the last Emperor of India.
Rounding out the challenge are questions on Pythagoras's Theorem and the location of the Meadowhall shopping centre.
