General Knowledge Quiz #8

Post by tiger76 » Thu Jul 08, 2021 9:31 pm

This should be somewhat easier than the last one, 14/20 for me, but the other 6 had me snookered.https://www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/general ... ge-quiz-8

sigh, 16 with 2:12 left. No idea on coffee sizes, white rap singers, math and the author. Could have guessed for 10 hours and not gotten those.

19. The eminem question was in one of the other quizzes. Had enough time to do several guesses at the Goldrush question but ran out of time guessing the 'esquire' question

Thanks for posting these Tiger :-)

12. Kicking myself on the Rex and Hatter questions but it'll never sink in what Eminem's name is. Can't stand rap.
