In December 2017 I wrote this piece listing 25 answers to quiz questions where it’s usually worth having a guess, offering the following advice:

It’s worth having a guess as long as you’re not going to lose money or points or be eliminated from the game for being wrong. If a question begins with the words “Which British Prime Minister”, and you don’t know the answer, you might as well say “Winston Churchill”. If it includes a reference to an Egyptian queen it’s probably Cleopatra. If there’s mention of an Australian model it’s almost certainly Elle McPherson.

Here are a further 50 examples where it’s usually worth having a guess, based on key words in the question. If it mentions a “South American mountain range”, it’s almost certainly the Andes. “Cambodian temple” usually means Angkor Watt. “Emily Bronte novel” is always “Wuthering Heights”.

As in the earlier piece, these suggestions are listed in a table, and there are sample questions immediately afterwards.
