"Jolly Good General Knowledge Quiz"
Post on: February 21, 2019
For some people, acquiring knowledge is a passing interest. To others, it may be a hobby or a means to academic excellence while some even take it as an obsession. Regardless of where you stand on the spectrum, your love for learning something new is deservedly manifested.
General knowledge has been defined with much sophistication by the experts in the field. Put simply, it is the information we collect gradually from various sources like TV, books, magazines etc, on different subjects (like what Jolly Good Times offers). This is in contrast to the detailed information on subjects studied formally.
Besides making great strides academically, general knowledge helps us grow on a personal level. It makes us perceive the world with a holistic viewpoint — it helps us discern and analyse things better. After all, the world we live in is unpredictable and dynamic — we need to be abreast of occurrences to stay current and relevant.
Here are some general knowledge questions (with answers) to see how well you fare:
1. What famous garment is awarded to the US Masters Golf winner?
2. What do you get if you distil wine?
3. In layman’s term, what is acetic acid commonly known as?
4. “The Saints” is a nickname for which English football club?

18. Which physicist and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge wrote ‘A Brief History of Time’?
19. What is the Airline which has three letters of the English alphabet appearing consecutively?
20. Which bird is the national emblem of New Zealand?
How did you fare? General knowledge encompasses way beyond trivia quizzes although it is a fun means to see how well one performs. As we meander this world of us through books, television and other media, let us not only be entertained but learn something new — a positive feature we can retain a lifetime.
