... presumably with your Odd One Out rounds, you'd allow as correct any justifiable answer? Like, Paul is the odd one out because he's the only Beatle to play left-handed.
Fun sinister fact here incidentally: Paul plays lefty but is actually right-handed; Ringo is the other way around, he's left-handed and plays on a kit configured for a right-hander.
Who is older – Gary Oldman, or Gary Numan?

For a good quiz, 80% of folk will get 80%, 15% / 90%, and 5% / 100%
I think I know all of those bar #5 and #9.
... and having googled them, I should've known #5. Cool idea, I like that.
Think I know all bar #10 and I can guess that I think? - quick google shows yes I guessed right. NIce idea
good catch on the whisky
and as for right answer / wrong reason etc - you need the answer written down by the quizmaster. If you're arsey about having another answer that is also correct, you get nowt, if you're nice about it then quizmaster may allow it at their discretion
Nothing worse than a quizmaster who refuses to admit they're wrong. 😝

That's nasty, cos there's bog all between all three of them.
You’re saying my shoes are 10 barleycorns long, so 10* 1/3 of an inch?
I dispute that
its the increment between sizes - so a size 9 is one barleycorn longer than a a size 8, not 9 barleycorns long. And don’t forget you go through all the kids shoe sizes before the scale starts again for adult shoes.
which is furthest west was the one that caught everyone out.
Edinburgh,Cardiff or Liverpool.
