I have compiled what I think is a complete guide to the Quizzes. If I’ve missed any, please comment and I’ll add it to the list 🙂
 
I’ve tried to list the answers more or less alphabetically, or at least according to the first word of the question. I haven’t corrected the spelling or grammar of the questions, and I’ve tried to present them as they are. The answers are verified through the in-game result after each quiz.
 
I hope it helps!
