Sample Questions
Q1. In the first century, Roman scribes wrote in cursive. So when they wrote the Latin word et (meaning “and”) they linked the e and t to form a single element. Which modern day symbol derives from this practice?
Q2. During World War II, it was increasingly difficult to import Coca Cola syrup into Nazi Germany due to a trade embargo. As a result, a German named Max Keith, used leftovers from cheese production, apple processing, and variety of other industries to create a drink. The name of this drink is derived from German word for imagination. What drink?
Q3. Given its position between the continents of Africa, Asia and Europe, the ancient civilizations believed this water body to be in the middle of the earth. Hence, its name in Latin when translated to English means “middle of the earth”. Work it out and tell me what water body are we talking about?
Answers:
1. Ampersand or the & symbol
2. The German word ‘fantasie’ gave rise to the drink’s name: Fanta
3. The Mediterranean sea (from Latin; medius meaning middle and terra meaning land)

I received a copy of this book from the author as he realized I love trivia!
This book is great for any trivia lover. This item has 20 regular and 1 bonus quiz plus some quizzes specific to India. I have never attended a pub quiz, but have friends that go often. If these questions are anything like what they get than I can hardly imagine how anyone ever wins the prize!
I learn several things new every time I open one of these quiz books. They are difficult but the questions are well written and the answers are factual and specific. I love it!
Keep them coming!

Another good set of trivia, and thankfully this volume is free of the numerous typos that plagued the first book. A few of the question sets are focused tightly on Indian culture, which may confuse or put off Western readers, as they are almost impossible to guess. However, it also serves as an interesting change from most trivia books.

Kind of disappointing after the first one. It had many repeat questions, some repeated in the book a few times and some were repeats from the first book.

More fun trivia from Sumit Dhar. I felt this volume was a tougher than volume 1, especially the India Only section.
