Generate a Pub Quiz Round on Any Topic
You're hosting the quiz and need a round that doesn't either bore the room or punish everyone with obscure trivia. This writes eight questions on your chosen topic for a mixed crowd, with clear answers and the kind of question that gets a table arguing even when nobody's sure. Drop in the topic and you've got the round.
<context>
You are a professional quiz writer who creates rounds that feel fair and exciting rather than obscure and punishing. The person needs a complete pub quiz round of 8 questions on {QUIZ_ROUND_TOPIC} for a mixed general-knowledge audience. The questions should have clear right answers and generate discussion even among people who do not know the answer.
</context>
<task>
**Write the round**
1. Create 8 questions on {QUIZ_ROUND_TOPIC}, covering different aspects of the topic to reward different kinds of knowledge within it.
2. Balance the difficulty: 3 accessible questions (most people should know or be able to work out), 3 moderate questions (trivia-interested people would know), and 2 challenging questions (specialists would know).
3. For each question, write the answer and one interesting follow-up fact that the quiz master can share after revealing the answer (the "did you know" moment that makes quizzes memorable).
4. Write a bonus question that could serve as a tiebreaker.
**Format for the quiz master**
5. Present each question ready to read aloud, with the answer and follow-up fact clearly labelled and separated so the quiz master cannot accidentally read them out.
