New Book Week Quiz!

What are the six weapons in Cluedo?

Quiz 1. The original. It opened with a board game classic and hid a genuinely surprising geography fact in the middle, so it has earned its look back.

What are the six murder weapons in Cluedo?

The candlestick, dagger, lead pipe, pistol, rope and wrench. Six household objects that have fuelled decades of accusations in the billiard room.

Most families can rattle off four and then stall. The lead pipe is usually the one that goes missing.

Where is the largest desert on Earth?

Antarctica. A desert is defined by how little rain or snow falls, not by heat, and Antarctica gets so little precipitation that it is officially the largest desert in the world. The Sahara has to settle for second.

This is the fact from Quiz 1 that got repeated at the most dinner tables, and fair enough.

What colours are on the South Korean flag?

National flag with a deliberately altered colour to spot

Have a look at the flag above, where one colour has been swapped. The yellow is wrong: the taegeuk circle in the middle of the South Korean flag should be red and blue, on a white field with black trigrams in the corners.

That was Quiz 1, where it all officially began. An icy desert and a lead pipe. We knew we were onto something.
