The 13 questions to challenge your general knowledge start with a sports question. Cast your mind back to the 1980s , an era full of legends on the football pitch. One of these legends was regarded as the best English striker at the time. Who scored a total of 10 goals for the England team at the World Cup? You need to find a name that is inextricably linked with goalscoring and English football. Easy!
One question takes us into the field of geometry and astronomy . You’ve probably heard of celestial bodies moving in their orbits. But do you know what an ellipse actually is?

One of the 13 questions takes you deep into the history books, more precisely into the turmoil of the global conflict of the last century. It’s about a decisive moment at sea.
