Quizbeard #16

Today’s quiz rounds are: Communist History, Demonyms, General Knowledge, Famous Butlers and Down Under.  So whip out the Black Spots for Quizbeard number 16.

Welcome again to Quizbeard, a short, sharp shot of trivia, with 25 questions over five subject rounds.  There are, of course 30 points to play for as you can nominate any one of the five rounds in which to play your BLACK SPOT card, which you magically get at the beginning of play.  Playing your BLACK SPOT means you’ll grab two for one points on all correct answers in that round and that round only, so use it carefully as you have to declare your BLACK SPOT before the first question of that round has been asked.  A rundown of how to play can be found at Quizbeard.com/how, and you can also print your own answer sheets and BLACK SPOTS from the Quiz Kit page of the website, or you might like to get hold of the Quiz Kit book, now available from Amazon. 

The website also has plenty of information on how to subscribe to the quiz on various podcast players and, if you can, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.  If you’d like to offer even more help, you can become a patron by visiting Quizbeard.com/support.  As a Patron of the show, you’ll receive a digital certificate of rank – either Lieutenant, Commander or Captain, depending on your tier, and all supporters will get exclusive online entry to the upcoming prize competitions feature that will be launching this month.

Big thanks this week go to everyone who responded to this afternoon’s call for help in choosing a round topic, I had some fantastic suggestions and will definitely do some of those in the future.  The one I’ve chosen is ‘Famous Butlers, so thanks to Craig McCauley for his suggestion.  Thanks also to Bevvo, the host of the fantastic ‘Quiz and Trivia’ podcast, who suggested a ‘Down Under’ round – coincidentally, I already had an ‘Australia’ round typed up for today’s show, so I’ve renamed it in honour of the suggestion – thanks very much for that.  If you’d like to nominate a topic for a round or submit some questions, please send me a message on any of the social media channels and you might get a shout-out in next week’s quiz.
