I was asked last week which are the easiest and hardest quizzes to win each week.

To answer this, we have to consider two key factors: How busy is the venue and how smart are the regulars?

Basically, you’ve got a better chance of winning any given quiz if it’s relatively quiet and the people there are relatively dumb.

Now I can only really talk for the venues I host personally but I would score them as follows:

Basically, the lower it appears on this list, the easier it’s going to be to win at that venue:

Brass Leith – BUSY 90% – SMART 80% – overall 85%
Brass Shore – BUSY 80%  – SMART 80% – overall 80%

Brass Grange – BUSY 90% – SMART 70% – overall score 80%

Persevere – BUSY 70%  – SMART 80% – overall score 75%

Joker – BUSY 50%  – SMART 90%- overall score 75%

.Brass Drummond St – BUSY 70%  – SMART 40%- overall score 55%

Safari – BUSY 40%  – SMART 60%- overall score 50%

Newsroom – BUSY 60%  – SMART 30% – overall score 45%

Hot Toddy – BUSY 20%  – SMART 60% – overall score 40%


I’ll ask the quizmasters to give me a ranking for the other venues and I’ll publish the findings on Facebook later.

Music Round Clue for Joker tonight:

This is Scottish singer Amy McDonald and a song from 2020. Everyone in the YouTube comments says she’s a “genius” and “The Queen of Scotland”. They’ll be fans. I’m ambivalent. She definitely has a great voice but I find tune rather ploddy. Anyway, it’s in the music round at the Joker tonight.
