Your favourite pub quiz questions

[LimaDelta]

I'm busy writing the work Christmas day quiz, and rather than using AI to do it I thought I'd just ask some random people on the internet.

Actually it's mostly done, I just wondered if anyone had any really good ones.

I always like “With which country does France share its longest land border?”

It is 36 years since the dreadful terrorist attack in Los Angeles but can you remember which floor Hans Gruber fell from?

Did the quiz at my local last week. Few I came up with

How much does 83 litres of water weigh?

Google came up with their name as a play on the word googol - what is a googol?

Apart from JFK airport which is the only US international airport named after a former President?

What's the most expensive commercially produced liquid - hint it's very common?

George Bush, I asked an American Colleague if that was junior or senior and he didn't know.

Senior. In Houston Texas.

My worst one is "Where was the Magna Carta signed?"
It's usually a trick/joke question with people answering "Runnymede" only to be told they're wrong, it's "at the bottom of the page", when actually, neither is right.
It was never actually "signed" by anyone, rather the "signatories" would have added their seals to the document, and probably not at the public event at Runnymede but days or weeks later....
But try giving that as an answer in a pub quiz!

Gerald Ford Airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan is international, as there are flights to Canada.

I'd argue Canada doesn't count as international. Same applies to Reagan in Washington.

JFK and George Bush can both fly you (almost) anywhere in the world.

As the other guy said George Bush is the correct answer as that's a real international airport.

Well the party was on the 30th floor but I think he might have fallen from a higher floor as I seem to remember it was from a non-completed room.
