I didn't think I was that great and then I played with others. As it turns out I am way better than the average Joe.

I once took part in a neuroscience pub quiz because I happened to be drinking at the student bar when it was happening and got an average score. The rest of the people were actually studying a related subject. Nice quiz, had the question "Guess within a power of 10 how many cells are in the brain"

Depends on the trivia. Sports not so much. Random everything else yes.

Same. Sports and pop culture now that I’m older.

one time, i went to a lgbtq trivia night at my college. everyone was on teams of 4 or 5, but most of my group had to leave suddenly at the beginning. it was suddenly just myself and the token straight who knew approximately fuck all. anyways, i led my team to a landslide victory anyways.

The topics which feel like I know the information being asked for but the specifics are slightly beyond my immediate reach seem to have a near-100% overlap with being put on the spot.

In other words I suck at trivia 😅
