OT - The Pub Quiz Thread

Sorry Kiwi, quite close though.

 

Ten bob note?

 

Farthing

 

That's the one Shawswood. They stopped printing them in 1969 and they were taken out of circulation on Nov. 22nd 1970 - but were still used as currency, along with the Isle of Man 10 bob note for another 30 years there. Over to you.

 

Thanks Cologne, which country is the worlds largest exporter of false teeth?

 

China

no, I’ve just remembered about 30 years ago I worked in this country for a week and the locals in Vaduz were very proud of their export prowess.....it’s Liechtenstein!

 

Correct Stan, it’s other major export even more bizarrely is sausage casings!

 

It’s a beautiful place but rather odd.

Right, Patrick Leigh Fermor, if you have never heard of him, was an all time British hero and eccentric. As part of the Special Operations Executive he captured a German general in Crete. In 1933, as an 18 year old having been chucked out of a variety of schools, he took a boat to Rotterdam and walked to Constantinople as it was then called, with £5 and some introductions to a few people vaguely on the route.

To the nearest 100 miles how far did he walk?

 

3896

 

That’s a really poor guess. No.

 

9786

 

2,000

 

not that it probably helps anyone
Distance To Rotterdam From Istanbul is:
1377 miles / 2216.07 km / 1196.58 nautical miles

 

1400 gets it. He went a pretty direct route.

 

how many KIT KAT® fingers are consumed every single second.

 

By whom?

8 fingers? Hubbie had 4 for breakfast!

500

More if Big Keith down the Alma is peckish.

 

There are (according to my fingers) 31,556,000 seconds in a year, I would estimate (based on no knowledge whatsoever) that 200 million fingers of kitkat are produced per annum, so my guess is 6 per second.

 

googlestans closest
and big keith is peckish

 

Hmmm, how peckish? I reckon he can stuff 300 in in a second - 800.
