As you can imagine, "What's the capital of [insert random country] just doesn't cut it.

Thanks though.
What, to the nearest thousand, is the spectrum of blue light? I mean you can almost work it out if you know enough basic physics?
What author wrote a book in a pseudonym which was turned into a film staring Arnie, subsequently remade with Colin Firth? Or what was the pseudonym? The first is obviously rather simple but the latter perhaps not so much but a quiz is a quiz?
What flag denotes a snake being held by an eagle? Fairly easy to guess that one?
