Everyone's favourite day of the week has rolled around again and that means it's time for the ECHO's weekly pub quiz.
We all fancy ourselves as quizzing connoisseurs, especially when settling down to watch popular quiz shows like Pointless, The Chase, or Tipping Point - but how many of us can actually nail the time-honoured pub quiz? If you think you can rival a Chaser with your own encyclopaedic knowledge, then we've got 21 questions for you to try your hand at.
From the meaning of well-known scientific abbreviations to Oscar winners and more, this week's quiz aims to get you thinking. Whether you're a sports boffin or a literature know-it-all, there may be some questions that'll get you scratching your head.
