  1. Time for a #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion! Only 4 cities in #Germany have a population of more than 1 million people*. Berlin, Hamburg and Munich are 3 of them, which of the options in the #poll below is the 4th?

    * Note that this only refers to residents of the cities themselves, not their wider conurbations.

  2. Right, I'm off to the #PubQuiz at The Alehouse in #Zurich - in the unlikely event that you're local come along and say hi (starts at 6.30pm). In the meantime here's a very niche Swiss film #QuizQuestion for you to celebrate the fact that it's currently the Zurich Film Festival #ZFF.

    To the best of my knowledge, there's only one mainstream film in existence that features execution by molten cheese enema. What's the title of this gloriously over the top piece of Swissploitation cinema?

  3. It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! The surname Loomis pops up a lot in horror film franchises, including Halloween and Scream. In both those cases the name is an homage to a character in which classic Alfred Hitchcock movie?

  4. It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Although I'm not great at solving them, I do enjoy a UK style cryptic crossword. According to the Guinness Book of World Records the first entirely cryptic crossword was published in the Saturday Westminster Gazette in 1925, written by Edward Powys Mathers. He's much better known by his pen name - what is it?

  5. Morning all on #CupOfTeaSocial and beyond! Sorry I've been away for a while, lots going on. Will hopefully be restarting the daily #QuizQuestion properly shortly, but in the meantime here's a #scrabble #question for you:

    Playing the official UK/US English language version (tiles and board), how much would you score in Scrabble if you started a game with the word “Quiz”?

  6. It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! A surprising number of successful TV shows over the years have been spin offs from other shows. Three spin offs are listed in the #poll along with one original - which is it?

  9. It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! The first official paid television advertisement came out in the United States on July 1, 1941 at 2:30 p.m., over New York station WNBT (subsequently WNBC) before a baseball game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. What was it for?

  10. It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! There's lots of foods out there with names that don't in anyway describe what they really are - spotted dick, for example, which is a steamed sweet suet pudding made with dried fruit. Spotted dick is just confusing though, not downright false advertising like Albany Beef which is actually... what?

  11. It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Not sure if it's difficult or easy today, but let's give it a whirl. Looking at the flags of these nations, which one is the odd one out?

  12. It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom also came out in 1984. Only one of the top three billed actors has won an Oscar - which is it? For a bonus question, which of the others has made a guest appearance on stage singing backing vocals with Bruce Springsteen?

  13. It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! It's June 8th when I'm writing this which was a big day for cinema back in 1984 when two massive blockbusters were released. One of them was Ghostbusters, what was the other?

  14. It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Earlier today I was talking with a friend about BASE jumping - the extreme sport where people jump from bridges, skyscrapers etc. and hope to deploy a parachute quickly enough to avoid hitting the ground with a hell of a thump. As you might guess from the use of uppercase letters, BASE is an acronym. What does it stand for?

  15. An early #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion for you today. Although he didn't invent the Woozle, the fertile imagination of the writer Lewis Carroll spewed up a vast amount of other fantastical creatures in poetry and prose. His works weren't universally appreciated at the time of writing though - can you tell me which of the following publications was reviewed by Vanity Fair as being "not worthy [of] the name of nonsense"?

  16. It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! The Woozle effect occurs when a source is widely cited for a claim it does not adequately support, giving said claim undeserved credibility. The name comes from a chapter of a very famous children's book first printed in 1926. Which book?
