Each month we’re posing six pub quiz style questions, with a different subject each month.
As always, they’re designed to be tricky but not impossible, so it’s unlikely everyone will know all the answers – just have a bit of fun.
People
- Who was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize?
- Who is often credited with creating the world’s first car?
- The name of which British prince is often used to describe a pierced manhood?
- Who was married to John F Kennedy and was first lady from 1961 until 1963?
- Name the author: He was born in Dublin in 1854, and died in Paris in 1900.
- Although more well-known for his fiction and character creations, what famous author was also an ophthalmologist? He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh in the 1870s, was a determined supporter of compulsory vaccination, and partially based his most famous character on a former university teacher.
Answers will be posted in 2 weeks time.

That’s good. I suspect many will not even get three right. I know I would have struggled if I’d not written the questions. 😊
