Why generated questions beat a generic printable

  • Explanations for each answer to settle disputes at the table
  • Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages
  • Plus is $99.90/year or $9.99/month for unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export
Example general knowledge trivia questions and answers
What is the capital of Australia?Canberra. It was purpose-built as the capital, so many people wrongly guess Sydney, the largest city.
Which gas makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere?Nitrogen. Oxygen is second at about 21%, so it is a common wrong answer.
Who wrote the novel Pride and Prejudice?Jane Austen. It was published in 1813 and remains one of the most famous English novels.
What is the hardest natural substance on the Mohs scale?Diamond. It is rated 10, the top of the scale, which is why it resists scratching.
