Hi
I was wondering if I could join this group and post quiz questions to you all please?
I quiz family and friends, and occasionally provide questions to the local pub so have kept a running spreadsheet of questions and came across this group yesterday and wondered if i could share them with you (I dont know my way around this yet, so please bear with me :) )
So if you'd like to join in, that would be great!

5 Rosencrantz is a character from which Shakespeare play?
6 What does the word Crestfallen mean?
7 The New Deal was implemented by which US president?
8 In which US state would you find the 8km Mackinac Bridge?
