Round two: The World

Quizzer and comedian Paul Sinha and his audience join together to compile a perfect pub quiz, this week on the theme of The World.

The problem with quizzes is that the same questions keep coming up, like 鈥淲hat鈥檚 the largest land mammal?鈥*. So the more quizzes you do the more predictable they get. Luckily, here comes quizzer, comedian and Rose d鈥橭r winner Paul Sinha with his series, Paul Sinha鈥檚 Perfect Pub Quiz. In each episode he will invite the audience to tell him their favourite quiz questions, before offering up not just different and surprising questions, but also the fascinating stories behind the answers.

This week's show is full of questions for the World Round of the quiz. Paul asks about the first woman to circumnavigate the globe, the world's longest river, and the US state which has Boston as its capital. The audience, meanwhile, contribute questions about countries on the equator, wordless national anthems, and matching flags.

It鈥檚 facts, jokes, stories and puns 鈥 just the way you like them.
