_(03/03/21)_ The Great Hump Day Quiz! 🐪 Welcome to this Wednesday’s Great Hump Day Quiz! **We’re always trying to add more people to our quiz gang** , so [check out how to hide your answers](https://lovehoneyforum.com/t/the-great-pub-quiz-game-thread/258343/683), pop them in a post, and I’ll add you to the Scoreboard. 👍🙂 > **Where do the questions come from?** > > I found a [mysterious old box of trivial pursuit](https://lovehoneyforum.com/t/images-to-share-in-topics/259586/17), with even more trivial pursuits stuffed inside. It is a treasure trove of quiz questions, and all of them really old. 🙂 Perfect fodder for a Hump Day special. 👍 > > Piecing together a few bits and bobs, there were three sets, and a couple of the instructions. One is a Genus Edition, dated 2001, and the other the 20th Anniversary one, 2004. There’s also another old style board and questions in there that looks/smells quite a bit older. That’s the box they’re all stuffed in, and that has ©1983 printed on it. No instructions, so not sure if that’s accurate. That one says it’s a Master Game Genus Edition. > > So, there you go. It’s a bit random, but it should add to the fun. 🙂 > > * * * Categories: > **💙 Geography** > > 1. What’s the only Scandinavian country the Artic Circle doesn’t cut through? > > 2.
