The JOE Friday Pub Quiz: Week 68

Let's get down to quizness

Rich Cooper

Brought to you by Knowledge is Power.

Here we go, people. Strap in.

It’s Friday. It’s quiz time. It’s the most wonderful time of the week and yes, it’s here at last. I’ll be honest with you, I’m seeing The Last Jedi later so I’m a touch more excited about that, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t got a first-rate quiz for you. No sir.

We’re kicking off this week’s quiz with, yes, Star Wars – I couldn’t resist – faithfully followed by the usual round two: Sport. Round three is Geography, brought to you by Knowledge is Power, the brilliant PlayLink quiz game for PS4, which uses phones as controllers – all the questions are taken from the game.

The picture round is Famous Fathers – guess who the famous person in the picture’s father is – and finishing off with Currencies of the World.
