Ever do these ?

I found the questions really hard. Such has:

What was the Dickin Medal awarded to In WW2 ?

What year did the Times print the first ever weather forecast ?

What Country needed to sail around the world to attack Japan ?

I went to a few pub quizzes with some friends who were regular quizzers. I thought it would be a good laugh but no, people took it so seriously...whispering so that other groups wouldn't hear, covering up answers when people walked past etc

First time I was in the UK, I spent a few Quiz nights at a pub in Basingstoke with our office manager (who was an Aussie), our local director, and the Support Engineer. We usually came in 2nd or 3rd, but one night we won the thing. Spent the winnings on beer. That was the night I learned never try to match drinks with an Aussie.

When we first started, we were all like ' oh ok, this will be a bit of fun'... but no, 3 questions In and you could feel the tension rising.
