Which TV quiz show is based on the creator's experience of being interrogated as a prisoner of war?
Which property on the Monopoly board does not exist in the real-life London?

For lovers of the most obscure and unlikely facts - as well as the unsung quizzing geniuses out there (we all know a couple) - comes Pointless Facts for Curious Minds, the book where obvious answers mean nothing and obscurity reigns. A compendium of fascinating and arcane bits of knowledge, mixed amongst a healthy dose of Pointless quizzing, this is a book that takes a quiz as only the starting point of your intelligent adventures.

Pointless Facts for Curious Minds gives you the chance to put your knowledge to the test and prove your Pointless credentials.

Alan is a screenwriter, journalist and the author of Two Girls, One on Each Knee, about the puzzling world of crosswords. His favourite quiz question is: What word was intentionally omitted from the screenplay of The Godfather?
