    About the quiz

    If you are curious, here is some information about the quiz format:

    • The quiz will be online on Zoom.
    • We will play in teams of 4 members each.
    • Zoom will randomly assign each member to a team.
    • Each team can choose a name for themselves – the funniest name wins a point!
    • Anna Freed will chair the quiz, reading questions out loud.
    • We will also display questions on screen for accessibility purposes.
    • There will also be 2 BSL interpreters.
    • The quiz will be divided in 4 sections: film, art, sport, history.
    • There will be also a general section with non-knowledge based questions.
    • Each section is composed of 4 questions.
    • At the end of each section, teams will go in breakout rooms.
    • Teams will have 5 minutes to discuss their answers.
    • After that, a team representative will send their answers to the scorekeeper via the chat.
    • The scorekeeper will announce the results, and then we will move to the next section.
