World Quiz League

2007-2008 Season Quiz One

Welcome to the relaunched and revamped World Quiz League.

Only the title, the players and some of the questions are the same.

In the two years (has it really been that long?) since the World Quiz League has been confined to history the world has moved on and Debate Unlimited has done too. Some things about the new League will be familiar to those who have played before and some will be different.

The internet has grown up and matured, the World Quiz League will now be richer in multimedia content and quizzes will be run on more than one format, watch out for more details after I have thought what they might be.

My dictionary falls open, I find between a freedom to choose and the opening of a cavity a provider of supposedly wise advice; a brightly-sashed bigot; a brachiating primate; an islander; military supplies; a supplicating simian's superior; a transparent dress fabric and a great indulgence.
