Questions / challenges for quiz

It happens quite often that I need some quiz challenges and questions that are just fun. My audience is not allowed to go online, mind.

e.g. Which of the following is the correct spelling?
- Schwarzenegger
- Schwardzeneggar
- ...

e.g. Name the author of each of the following classics:
a) Dracula
b) Frankenstein
c) ...

e.g. Which is the most densely populated state in the USA?

e.g. Name the presidents on a five, ten, hundred, ... dollar bill.

...

But after so many years, I've run out of ideas. If anyone of you has a few good quiz questions or challenges, could you post some here? I'd be most grateful. The target audience is very diverse so questions like: "who played man with bottle in Moonraker" might be a bit too niche specific. ;-)

Thanks in advance!

    You're wanting quiz questions, then? And are these Bond-related or not?

    This is a riddle as well... bit tricky mates.

    Who was Q's one true love? We discover this over the course of the films.

    @Radebe, no, not Bond-related. I need to entertain a very diverse audience. In my opening post I provide a few simple examples. ;-)

    @Bradford4, I have no idea. Is it a human being? Are we talking a woman specifically?

    I've got a word document full of quiz questions but they may be a bit too tricky for what you're intending. I can send you it if you like.

    I love my capital cities. I know all 194 capital cities of de facto independent countries and 205 in total (including de jure countries such as Nagorno Karabakh).

    You could perhaps provide, say, 8 capitals cities (ranging from relatively well known ones, such as Stockholm and Buenos Aires to obscure ones, such as Castries and Porto-Novo) and the competitors get given 10 points for identifying the most obscure countries that correspond with the given capitals and so on.

    Example-
    1) Warsaw- Poland (1p)
    2) New Dehli- India (2p)
    3) Minsk- Belarus (4p)
    4) Tripoli- Libya (5p)
    5) Santiago- Chile (7p)
    6) Dakar- Senegal (8p)
    7) Lusaka- Zambia (9p)
    8) Ouagadougou- Burkina Faso (10p)
