How to not win at quizzes

Went to a pub quiz earlier in the week, which I didn’t win. My team came third out of eight, which is fairly respectable, or so I’m told.

I think the problem was largely that there were too many questions about sport and soap operas, and not enough about The X-men, Stephen King or the films of George Lucas. They didn’t even mention The Princess Bride once.

Who says my knowledge is too esoteric?
