Beware! Whenever looking at a question paper, note the date that it was set. A considerable number of questions have answers that rely on information that was correct at the time of setting but was later superseded (e.g. the names of holders of political offices, or the football club for which a certain player plays). WithQuiz Since 2001 the weekly question papers set for WithQuiz matches have been saved on this site. Approximately 30 papers are set each season and you can access them (questions and answers) by choosing one of the seasons from the table below. WithQuiz papers typically include 8 rounds each of 8 questions with a few spare questions sprinkled around in case there is a problem with one of the main questions. Very occasionally pictures are used but by and large the questions consist purely of text. Since 2007 matches are played four times a season against Stockport League teams and for these matches the format of the papers is a mash up of the WithQuiz format and that used by the Stockport League. WithQuiz papers are set by one of the WIthQuiz teams (or now and then by a Guest setter). Sets of questions from books or online sources are NEVER used. This leads to an unpredictability which is occasionally mourned, but usually relished, by the players. Season 2020/21 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. |
