website. Quizballs provides free quiz questions and answers for trivia quizzes,
team games, pub quizzes, general knowledge, learning and amusement. Use the
quiz and questions and answers to suit your purposes, either as a stand-alone

Quizballs accepts no liability for any arguments, lost bets, or
otherwise unfortunate consequences arising from any errors contained in these
quizzes although quite a lot of effort is made to ensure that questions are
clear and answers are correct. Please notify us
of any errors, or questions or answers requiring clarification.
These quizzes are free to use in pub quizzes, trivia quizzes,
organisational events and team-building, but are not to be sold or published,
which includes not posting them on other websites, thank you.
These are the quiz questions. Here are the quiz answers with
the questions. A link to the quiz answers also follows the questions
below.
Please note that question 4 and answer were clarified
(26.11.06), for reasons explained in the answer. Question 49 was altered (14
Feb 2008) because it was based, wrongly, on the notion that the opera was
written to celebrate the opening of the Suez Canal; it was not (thanks
Bob).
