This is a quiz with both academic and pop culture categories for individual participants.   Note the WQC has been moved to 5 Dec 2020.

Thanks for letting me know about this! I didn't do so well though; 75/240.

It is a difficult, diverse quiz balanced categorically, temporally, and geographically.  You beat me, I only got a 65, but realize you take the top 7 out of 8 categories for your score - in my case I dropped my Sport score.  The full table (maybe a few results trickling in) is at https://quest.quizzing.com/season/100016/quiz/100323

[Sir Ian Plätschisch]

In that case I also drop sports, and end with 69/210

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Nice.

[Sir Ian Plätschisch]

Nice.

Heh, I got credit for two answers I didn't think I would, so my score is actually 71.

The next WQC has been moved to July 31 for more areas to open up. www.worldquizzing.com

I also have permission to reuse a couple of Mensa CultureQuest instances of any Talossans would like to try them.  Send a PM and I can set you up.

@xpb Are you aware of any quizzing events coming soon? I am interested in exercising my old quick recall muscles.
