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.

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?

What's the connection?

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?

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?

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”?

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?

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?

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?
-
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?
-
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?
-
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?

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"?
-
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?
-
It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Yesterday's question involved the famous London children's hospital Great Ormond Street which first opened in 1852. Many years ago GOSH was gifted the copyright to (and hence the royalties arising from) a famous children's character, and still benefits from it today - which character is it?
-
It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! It's Wednesday today which brings to mind the hit Netflix show of the same name. Jenna Ortega plays Wednesday Addams in that, but the same role was played by Christina Ricci in the films from the early 90s. The Addams Family was the second film that Christina appeared in - what was the first? (clue: Winona Ryder played her sister).
-
It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! It's #Tuesday today (at least, it is where I am while I'm writing this, time is weird). In English Tuesday is named for Tiw (AKA Týr), who is a Norse god. What is Tiw the god of?
-
It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Following on from yesterday, the Tina Turner song Private Dancer was written by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. He also wrote the score for the classic film The Princess Bride which has a scene where a number of characters scale the 'Cliffs of Insanity', featuring the spectacular real life Cliffs of Moher in the establishing shot. In which Irish county can you visit the Cliffs of Moher?
BTW, if you like the #quiz do please give it a boost so more people can discover it - it is #Friday after all!

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Yesterday's question got me wondering about why there are quite so many Red Lion pubs in England. In short, no one is entirely sure, but one possible reason is that the lion is taken from the crest of John of Gaunt. Born in 1340, he was the son of King Edward III and his son was King Henry IV. Every English monarch from Henry IV onwards is a descendant of John (assuming there was no funny business along the way) so historically speaking he's A Big Thing. John wasn't born in England though, he was from Gaunt - in which modern day country can you find the town previously known as Gaunt?
-
It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Along with Hugh Laurie, Olivia Wilde was also one of the stars of the TV show House. She doesn't do so much acting now as she's moved on to being in the director's chair. What was the title of her recent film starring Florence Pugh, Harry Styles and Chris Pine - it garnered a lot of press attention due to alleged feuds between Wilde and Pugh, and Styles and Pine.
-
It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! As I was out walking by the Greifensee (Griffin Lake) earlier today I thought some kind of mythological creature question would be good. The griffin has the body, tail, and back legs of a lion with the head and wings of an eagle. But which of the options in the #poll describes the Stratford Lyon, a mythical beast which roams the New Forest of southern England?
-
It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Volume 3 of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy is currently cooking up a storm at the global box office (and a fine film it is too). Way back in the first Guardians film, lead character Peter Quill owned a spaceship with the same name as an Italian city - what was it?
-
It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Time to move on from real things that happened to actual corpses to fantastical things that have happened to fictional ones. The production company Hammer is famous for its horror films the first of which (The Quatermass Xperiment) was released in 1955. But which of these famous undead monsters was the first to appear in a full length Hammer horror film?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! The Narnia books by C.S. Lewis were a staple of childhood back when & where I grew up and feature a set of siblings from the Pevensie family: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. In the freaky final book (The Last Battle, which borrows much of it's themes from the book of Revelation) the siblings return to Narnia with the exception of Susan, who is described as being "interested in nothing now-a-days except nylons and lipstick and invitations". Lots of people feel this was somewhat harsh on Susan who should be allowed to live her life how she feels fit regardless of what magical lions might think. Among these people is a famous scifi/fantasy author who wrote a short story called "The Problem of Susan" on the topic. Who is the author?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Today is #EarthDay but when I tried to think of a related question #EarthSong by Michael Jackson popped into my head so now you've got this instead. British music awards the BRITs have had their fair share of controversial/comedy moments over the years, including Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood presenting one of the most shambolic awards shows in history, Madonna falling downstairs, Adele giving James Corden the finger, Robbie Williams challenging Liam Gallagher to a fight and Danbert Nobacon of Chumbawamba throwing a bucket of iced water over the deputy Prime Minister's head.
This is all nothing though compared to 1996, when a Britpop icon invaded the stage during MJ's performance of Earth Song and wiggled his arse at the TV cameras for a good couple of minutes before being caught. Who was this hero of our times?
-
It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Today's #Sechseläuten antics in Zurich got me thinking about odd traditions and festivals. In the #poll are 3 odd traditions from the UK - which one takes place in Ottery St Mary?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time and as it's #PuzzledPint day today here's a #beer question courtesy of my co-quizmaster Mark. Lambic is a type of very dry Belgian beer from Brussels and the Pajottenland and it used to be one of my favourites before I discovered that gluten does very nasty things to my insides. The method used to brew lambic is a bit unusual as you don't add what is normally considered a vital ingredient of beer. What is it?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time and as it's #TransDayOfVisibility I have a question for you celebrating transgender representation in Hollywood. Elliot Page is a top notch actor (check out the Umbrella Academy on Netflix if you have it) and the Wachowski sisters are top notch writer/directors. But has Elliot ever appeared in a film or TV series written by Lana and Lilly?

Time for a #ThrowbackThursday edition of the #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion. We're travelling back to this day in 1992 when "The Silence of the Lambs" won five Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director, Nest Actor and Best Actress*.
In the film version of "The Silence of the Lambs" Hannibal Lecter famously boasts about eating a census taker with "some fava beans and a nice Chianti". In the original novel though it isn't Chianti – what sort of wine is it?
#quiz #trivia #OnThisDay #MovieQuiz #MovieTrivia
* Potentially controversial opinion: we all loved it back in the day but looking back on it today it's a hoary old potboiler with a dodgy storyline and completely unbelievable characterisation – Manhunter (1986) is a much better film.

Time for a #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion? Why yes, it is! In many parts of the world (the UK being one) today is Mothering Sunday. Unlike the US holiday of Mother's Day (which dates back to the early 20th century), Mothering Sunday has roots in the Christian church of the Middle Ages and in its original form it had nothing to do with your own mother (lovely though I'm sure she is).
Here's the question: to what does the Mother part of Mothering Sunday refer?
Answers in the #poll below, spoiler-filled replies and discussion more than welcome but please stick them behind a CW.

Time for a #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion! It's the #IdesOfMarch today, the 74th day of the Roman year. There was an Ides in every month back in Roman times but the Ides of March is particularly well known as it's the day that Julius Caesar was assassinated back in 44BC. The assassination was a big affair (literally, he was stabbed 23 times and at least 60 senators were in on the plot) and is well recorded by contemporary sources so we know a surprising large amount about the event.
Here's your question: True or false - the Romans were so proud of assassinating their dictator that they minted a commemorative coin the following year.
Stick your answer in the #poll and no spoilers in the replies unless they are behind a CW please.

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! Today is the feast day of St Piran, the patron saint of #cornwall (well, one of them at least). Like all saints, St Piran had to perform a number of miracles to be granted sainthood. In the #poll below are four miracles attributed to four different saints - which one is St Piran's?
-
Time for today's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion and it's a rare foray into the world of sport. Great Britain's Mia Brookes became the youngest world champion in snowboarding history at the age of 16 this week, beating New Zealand's Zoi Sadowski-Synnott to women's #slopestyle gold at the #Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski World Championships in Georgia.
Here's your question: which of the options in the #poll is a genuine snowboard trick?

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time. Today is Shrove Tuesday (AKA pancake day for us Brits), which is the last day before the start of Lent. For many branches of Christianity the last day of Lent is Maundy Thursday. Here's the question - which of these is not a Maundy Thursday tradition somewhere in the world?
If you enjoy the daily #trivia #quiz I'd appreciate a boost so more people can discover it.

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! As I've been at the science museum today here's a science question for you all.
Even if you don't know the name you'll be familiar with the Doppler effect, where the apparent frequency of a sound (its pitch) changes if the source of the sound is moving.
The most commonly used example is the siren on an ambulance - but is the pitch of the siren higher or lower when the ambulance is moving away from you?
