=== Rounds === There are typically between 1-6 rounds of questions, ranging from 10 to upwards of 80 questions. Rounds may include the following themes (in order of popularity): * Factual rounds β these are usually spoken, either over a [[public address]] system or just called out. Common topics include: ** General knowledge β covering topics such as history, [[geography]] and [[science]] and [[nature]]. There may well be more than one of these rounds. ** [[Sport]] β comprising the statistics and minutiae of both well-known and obscure sports. ** [[Entertainment]] β general pop culture, including [[film|movies]], [[television|TV]] shows and music (see also below). ** True or False β questions to which the answer is True or False. * Picture round β these use printed hand-outs or televised images consisting of pictures to be identified. These rounds may use photos of famous people (possibly snapped out of context or else partially obscured), logos of companies (without tell-tale lettering), famous places or objects captured from a strange angle. Usually these rounds are completed across the duration of the quiz with a hive of activity at the start, to keep guests entertained during breaks between rounds; and are marked halfway through. * Who Am I? β A series of clues to the identity of a famous person (or thing). Clues are given in order of descending difficulty. The earlier a team can identify the correct answer, the more points they are awarded. * [[Music]] round β these consist of excerpts (often only the [[introduction (music)|intro]] or other non-vocal segment) of songs played over the PA system. Usually the teams must identify the song, artist, and/or the year the song was released. Variations include the use of film and TV soundtracks, or classical music rounds (requiring the composer, title, and/or style). This round may be dependent on proper licensing from performers rights organizations. * Audio round β similar to music rounds, but sound clips are played from movies, television shows, [[YouTube]] videos, etc. * Year rounds β these rounds list important, historic events and offer points for correctly identifying the year in which they took place. * [[Puzzle]] rounds β generally on a hand-out sheet. These may consist of [[crossword puzzle]]s, [[anagram]]s, [[Ditloid]]s, [[Rebus|Dingbats]] and basic [[mathematics]] problems. * Novelty rounds β themed round a specific word or name (e.g. all the questions relate to a famous Norman); 'connections', where the last answer in the round provides a link to all the previous answers; true or false; and various others to break up the general stream of questions. Beyond these standard rounds, themes and variety are only limited by the quizmasterβs creativity. Rounds can involve any number of bizarre and random topics, varying in difficulty and subject matter.
