Name The Ten Trivia Contest: Round 7
There will be a potpourri Rounds 11 and 12 that will diverge somewhat from the name ten format. Plenty of bonus points will be available for a potential comeback win for those trailing.
One point for each correct answer. You are limited to ten responses per question, unless the question stipulates a different number. For questions with bonus points, you will receive ten points for your first ten correct responses but no bonus points if any of your subsequent responses is incorrect.
Round 7
Name the ten most populated cities in the world.
Name ten people who lived to be at least 100 years old, including those living now (one bonus point for each additional five named; 15 named = 11 points, named = 12 points, etc).
Name ten composers born in England.
Name the ten tallest buildings in the world as of 2022.
Name ten films that Alfred Hitchcock directed (one bonus point for each additional five films named; 15 films = 11 points, 20 films = 12 points, etc)
