A bit later than normal, but I got there in the end… 🙂 _(24/11/21)_ The Great Hump Day Quiz! 🐪 Welcome to the 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. 👍🙂 > ❗We also have an [answer template](https://lovehoneyforum.com/t/forum-templates/276494/3) you can copy and paste now too. 👍 > **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. > > ( **Edit:** Now with an added sprinkling of more recent questions too 👍🙂) > > So, there you go.
