There are 50 questions per page and the document should print out correctly but I recommend print preview first. I have been writing quizzes for different purposes for years now but these came about because of my beginning to use Paltalk. Paltalk is an free internet chat program and service that supports text voice and web cam chats and had many different rooms (including adult and children’s) available. I use several of the Adult quiz room regularly. If you are interested in Paltalk you can download the appropriate software at http://www.paltalk.com together with further information. As I began to use the quiz rooms I was asked to read (instead of just answering) and I agreed. Since I personally don’t like quizzes I have heard before I made a decision not to repeat a quiz (or a question) but to write new ones on each occasion. A few hundred soon became a few thousand until it had reached the 10000 you have here. My questions have attracted a small amount of praise for being all general knowledge but not country specific and a friend suggested that if they were available she would buy them because they were better than the books she normally purchased. Remember a hard question is one you don’t know the answer to, and an easy question is one that you do. All of these quizzes were written as general knowledge quizzes for Paltalk and have been read once (by me) on that medium I hope you find them useful and enjoyable (and send me some money <s>) but at least have fun.
