Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

He’s best known for his incredible quizzing ability as one of the stars of TV’s The Chase, but it turns out that as well as being rather good at answering quiz questions, Paul Sinha is a dab hand at writing them too.

As part of his ongoing partnership with York-based quiz company SpeedQuizzing to encourage more people into quizzing, The Sinnerman has written more than 1,000 questions which feature as a bonus round, Six from Sinha, in the company’s question packs.

Here’s a sample of 20 of his questions, spanning a wide range of subjects from maths and geography through to popular culture and entertainment. So how many can YOU answer correctly?

1.       Formed in 1988, the British-American hard-rock band Tin Machine had which superstar as their lead singer?            

2.       Which capital city derives its name from the Spanish for “good air”?

10.   After winning forty-four-thousand pounds on ‘Deal Or No Deal’, Shahid Khan put his winnings into his musical career, which ultimately yielded the Number 1 single ‘La La La’, featuring Sam Smith. Under what name did Shahid Khan release ‘La La La’?

11.   In Britain, what is the longest month of the calendar year? It is an hour longer than any other.
