My favourite is "What is the legal age for drinking alcohol?" A 18 B 21 C 60
The answer is of course C.
Interesting! In Lincolnshire (in the 70s) it was a Manchester screwdriver
If you would like to provide a clue to a working email, I'm happy to share one I put together for a Quiz which got cancelled. You might find a couple of suitable rounds, or ideas for rounds.

Thanks Steve, as in the from field eg snipped-for-privacy@mysurname.me.uk and my surname is Whittingham.
That's my anonymity blown for all time round here.

These are great. Thanks, both.
a rip, slater / roofer a scratch stock, cabinet maker / woodworker a fad, french polisher a float, plasterer a drift, machine operator / mechanic a mattock, gardener a three piece gland, electrician a krone tool, network/telecoms wireman a dead centre, lathe operator a paternoster, angler
All of the above?

I guess its all about where you define national boundaries.

Yes five is right.
Is there any significant land area that is in dispute? Sufficient to change the order, I mean. Those little tiny islands the Chinese have built won't make any difference.
What if a term is used in more than one trade or profession? (Paternoster is a kind of lift, for a start.)
the quizmaster urges everyone to calm down and have a noggin before anyone gets their noggin knocked in with a nogging[1]?
[1] traditional spelling for the carpentry sense
and what would be the issues here?
which disputed boundary affects any of these countries (except for Tibet which would make China smaller not larger)
I have now found a second list putting China above the USA
but either way Russia is first, Canada is second
