QUIZ: One Way Or Another (Or Genuine Facts You Might Actually Want To Know)

No time for pleasantries today! We take you now live to Wikipedia where some facts are already in progress: "1829 – The first Boat Race between the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge takes place on the Thames in London." 

Well exciting stuff there, Brian. But what I want to know is - WHO WON? Come on, its one of those really obvious 'either / or' fifty-fifty questions that are perfect for pub quizzes. Two possibilities! and the best part? You already have the answer! Its just next to the wrong answer too! Time's ticking! Hurry and you could win a boat*!!!! (*you will not win a boat)

*inevitable Countdown theme to zero*

And the correct answer was...

OXFORD!

Did you get it right? Either way, there you go: a little bit of proper trivia ammo there for a future quiz night in the pub. More of those, you say? Well...alright then...

4. Assuming they aren't from [insert comedy backwards town of your choice], which has the most eyes: a human or a coconut?

A coconut has three eyes, a human should have less.

His left. MOON LEFT.

9. If I'm in Skipton, does the sun rise in the East or West? 

East (The Sun appears to move from east to west. That's because the Earth is spinning towards to the east, so we see the Sun first appear there at the start of the day. The Sun 'rises' in the east and 'sets' in the west.)

10. Which was invented first: Monopoly or Hitler? 

Adolf Hitler was born 1889, Monopoly invented in 1903. He preferred Hungry Hungry Hippos anyway.
