Funny quiz questions: Answers
1. How many times does the average person laugh in a day? (Just think how much you laugh an hour and you’ll be around the right number). It’s 13! I actually thought it’d be more than that – hopefully some of these funny quiz questions and answers will add to that number!
2. What is a Rocky Mountain oyster? Rocky Mountain oysters (also known as prairie oysters) are a delicacy made from bull testicles. And yes, they are as disgusting as they sound.
3. How long is New Zealand’s Ninety Mile Beach? It’s only 88km, so 55 miles long. Found on the northern tip of the North Island, Ninety Mile Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in New Zealand – even if you only get to enjoy it for 55 miles.
4. What do Americans refer to ‘pizza’ as? Any of you get this one? It’s pie! The first pizza sold in American was known as a tomato pie, so the name pie stuck.
5. How many months have 28 days in them? All of them! Trick question that one…
6. What is the main ingredient of Bombay Duck? Okay, so this is a pretty unusual pub quiz question. A Bombay duck is a particularly pungent fish from India.
7. What is the correct term for a question mark immediately followed by an exclamation mark? I love this one – it’s an interrobang. I also use it far too much!?
8. In which month does the German festival of Oktoberfest mostly take place? I would expect every backpacker to get this right – it’s September.
9. Which movie star entered a look-a-like content about himself only to come 3rd in it? Charlie Chaplin. The irony, right?
10. What is the collective noun for a group of pandas? An embarrassment of pandas. How amazing is that one? You’re welcome.
11. Who composed the music for Sonic the Hedgehog 3? Michael Jackson. One of the more random trivia questions here.
12. Which country do kiwifruit originate from? Even though New Zealand are associated with kiwifruit, it was originally called the Chinese gooseberry, so it originated from China.
13. In Georgia (the state), it’s illegal to eat what with a fork? That would be fried chicken. You have been warned. This is probably my favourite unusual quiz questions that I came across!
14. Which part of his body did musician Gene Simmons from Kiss insure for one million dollars? It was his infamous tongue. I have no idea why… For me, this is such a hilarious quiz question to ask people on trivia night!
15. Who were the first television couple to be shown in bed together on prime-time television? Fred and Wilma Flintstone, that naughty duo.
16. What Benedictine monk invented champagne? Dom Pierre Pérignon. This is one of my favourite trivia questions ever.
17. In which country are Panama hats made? Panama hats are hand-woven in Ecuador by craftsmen hailing from the cities of Cuenca and Montecristi.
18. Which European country has 158 verses to its national anthem? Greece
19. From which country do French fries originate? Even though this is disputed by France and the Netherlands, it’s Belgium who have the biggest claim on the humble French fry.
20. If you dug a hole through the centre of the earth starting from Spain, which country would you end up in? New Zealand. It might take you a bit of time though.
21. Which sea creature has three hearts? Octopus.
22. True or false: You can sneeze in your sleep? That one is false I’m afraid!
23. The first hockey pucks used in early outdoor hockey games were made of what? Frozen cow dung. It kinda makes sense, doesn’t it?
24. Which European country eats the most chocolate per capita? Switzerland
25. Who famously (and drunkenly) once said: “My dear, you are ugly, but tomorrow I shall be sober, and you will still be ugly.” That was Winston Churchill with that wicked quip. I always think this is such a hilarious quiz question that comes up a lot!
26. Which world city has the slogan: “What Happens Here, Stays Here”. Sin City itself, Las Vegas.
27. Only two mammals like spicy food – what are they? (one point for each one) Humans and the legendary tree shrew. If I’m ever reincarnated, I want to come back as the tree shrew.
28. What do the “M’s” in M&Ms stand for? (one point for each one) Forrest Mars and Bruce Murrie, the two businessmen who created the candy-coated chocolates.

I love these questions. For number 11 though, Michael Jackson actually only composed a few songs on the Sonic 3 album. We don’t specifically know which ones, but Carnival Night Zone and Launch Base Zone are dead giveaways with the sample sounds used. Also, the ending theme was literally used later on as Stranger in Moscow. But the rest of the songs were done by different people.
Ah amazing, thanks for the extra information – that’s fascinating!
Amazing questions and was fun asking these questions to my colleagues
