"Fun With General Knowledge Quiz — Vol 3"

Post on: September 6, 2019

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.

Here are some general knowledge questions (with answers) to see how well you fare:

1. What Shakespeare play features a Danish prince and his girlfriend Ophelia?
2. What is the name of the ‘tool’ needed to play snooker or billiards to hit the ball?
3. What is the longest river in Asia?
4. What is the late Princess Diana’s maiden name?
5. Who is the founder of McDonald’s?
6. Who was the first US president to visit China?
7. Which country is Ricky Martin born?
8. Nairobi is the capital city of which country?
9. What is the national flower of Italy?
10. What was the last album the Beatles recorded together?
11. Who lives at 221B Baker Street?
12. If you are celebrating your Silver anniversary, how many years have you been married?
13. What is the world’s smallest ocean?
14. What animal is the symbol of the World Wildlife Fund?
15. How many zeros are there in a billion?

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.

The Jolly Good Times hopes you had a wonderful time with the quiz. Share it with your kakis (friends) — invite them to like us on Facebook.
