What the 1960 trivia questions ask, round by round
World news of the 1960s follows new countries onto the map and asks the civil rights laws by their dates. Space and science runs from the first human spaceflight to animals sent around the Moon. Sports, 1960 to 1969 follows the Olympic Games of 1960, 1964 and 1968. The other three cover tech at home, everyday life and the arts.
Tips
- Older players? After the first ten, Host a round puts each question in large type; read the choices aloud twice.
- Tied at the end? Ask the 1960 population question without its choices and take the closest guess.
- Records broken since say "up to that time", so the 1961 home run question still has one right answer.
Questions and answers
Do the printed sixties trivia sheets show the answers?
No. The question sheet prints 20 questions with four lettered choices and a line for a name and a score. The right letters, with each reason and source, print only on the answer key, so every table can hold a sheet.
What happened in the 1960s?
A wave of African countries became independent in a single year, new satellites linked the continents, and people walked on the Moon. The rounds also ask quieter things: how long the smiley face took to draw and which coin Britain gave up.
Is this trivia about the year 1960 or the whole decade?
The whole decade, 1960 to 1969, in six rounds. The year 1960 has its share: the Year of Africa, the founding of OPEC, that year's Summer and Winter Games and the census count are all asked, each with its source.
