註釋Call it a quiz! Call it a trivia night! Quizzes are always popular. They're fun, family entertainment for all ages AND they are great for raising money for clubs and... for any good cause at all.Quiz Questions is a neat little book for just those occasions. Plus, it brings interest and humor to its twelve categories (like sports, books and writers, animals, aviation and space, history, languages and peoples, movies and music ... ).Every page of questions has an opposite page of answers, and most add something of extra interest beyond the bare correct answer.The book's a stand-alone read for alert minds as well as a super tool for the hard-worked presenter charged with running that quiz or trivia-based fundraiser.Author uses American English and material, but Will's a world traveler - he worked in eight countries - and the American reader is presented a wide spread of international questions.Sport? Not all is about US triumphs, yet Michael Phelps is there (DID he win more swimming golds than Mark Spitz?) and the amazing track records of the late "Flo-Jo" Florence Griffith-Joyner.Will Smyth's anglophone readers in Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand also get to uncover plenty of gems from American history. What exactly was Samuel Colt's patent for, back in 1835? Do they know the names of all three US astronauts on Apollo Eleven?He even shows his Scottish heritage by asking for the finer points of caber-tossing. (The caber has to fall AWAY from the kilted strongman! Just as well.)A good wee book, and a useful tool for any quiz leader. Also it will make a splendid present at modest price: one of those gifts you read yourself before passing it on to the giftee.
